You can’t always get what you want

This is impossible to teach to a toddler, especially when you want to give them the world. Within the past week, Audrey has wanted cookies for breakfast, to go outside while completely naked, to swim in the ocean “all by myself” and to sprout her very own mermaid tail. Some of her demands were met and some were not based on the intensity of her tantrum and the size of her audience. Her knack for drama and her skill in performing for hundreds of people makes me believe that although she may not get cookies for breakfast, one day, she may get an Oscar.
