I love how you point out that she can't really understand the reasoning but you provide it anyway, as background.<br /><br />For whatever it's worth and in case this offers another useful tool ... when my son was that age and the issue was less his willingness to walk than his willingness to walk <i>in a relevant direction</i> (ahem), and I was traveling with him, I bought and used extensively a tube sling (specifically a Peanut Shell, though other similar options exist). They're pretty affordable and being smallish can be stuffed in a purse (or stroller), and they offered for me a way to sit DS on my hip without needing to use either arm to hold him there. I used that from about 2.5 years old into 3, and then he got too big even to sit on my hip, but for that 20-30 lb. weight range this worked well for us.Alexicographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029216139568740202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473039.post-67229757376821195272012-04-12T10:39:40.049+01:002012-04-12T10:39:40.049+01:00I am giving you a high-five for emerging happier, ...I am giving you a high-five for emerging happier, and saner through this.<br /><br />And I am stashing this story to the toddler tales I need to refer to for later. :-)St Elsewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074672268757885766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473039.post-76167098029037199522012-04-12T05:54:20.551+01:002012-04-12T05:54:20.551+01:00That's a cute story, glad you were both able t...That's a cute story, glad you were both able to compromise ;) Definitely a win-win.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473039.post-4013458041753075322012-04-11T17:24:32.611+01:002012-04-11T17:24:32.611+01:00That is so great and I am so glad you came to an a...That is so great and I am so glad you came to an agreement.

So, you tend to give a little on unimportant things and she gets to feel like she's winning too.
