We like to listen to different kinds of music as part of our 'homeschooling music learning' and most often it's through Youtube. these past few days, I've got a craze to listen to the Carol of the Bells. Different versions, different instruments, different lyrics. So today I told Aiden to sit on his chair (serves as a piano stool, a story book-time chair, dinner when guests-are-around chair and reaching-over-the-bookshelf chair)
He said No.
(now I don't allow unreasonable arguments like NO and there is a pattern we follow (or try to) for appeal)
So I informed him again that he should sit on the chair. He wanted to sit on the sofa.
No sofa. Chair.
No chair. Sofa.
So he decided to come to an agreement. He simply picked up the chair, put it on the sofa and sat with a satisfactory "There!"
He said No.
