thats basically what we do.

I say ''i thought we would do ....... after we have picked up all these books, what do you think?''
or ''oh, you want to have....., what a great idea. lets just finish lunch and we can have that''
or if there is something she cant do and i cant offer an alternitive i say ''oh, id love to do that to, i love doing that, oh, we will have to wait and do it another day''

if i am being impatient or not thinking and just say NO or LATER she cracks it and we get nowhere!!!!!

I think if you can find a way to get through the day without a huge battle i think thats the best and only way to parent! Sounds like your doing great!
