Toddler Negotiation Skills

So lately, we've been working on Barrett's passy situation. Our new rule: only in the crib. But Barrett learned that if he throws his passifier behind the crib, later he can sneak in a few moments of bliss secretly under his crib. All of the sudden it's quiet, I go upstairs and see a few feet sticking out from under his crib and I know exactly what's happening.

Today the passy somehow made its way into the car on a breakfast run to Mc'Ds. After a mighty fit, we agreed Barrett could hold it, but not put it in his mouth. Then we looked in the back seat.....and look.

You gotta hand it to the kid, his deductive reasoning skills are really developing!!
