What it's all about!

We have had a lot of tough times trying to instill in our little one that it's not all about her, but about how we help each other in our house...

I think we achieved a breakthrough today, in the car on our way back from after Amélie's Tae Kwondo lesson:

a: Daddy, can we go to Wonderlab now??
D: Amélie, maybe we can go another time, now we have to go home and do quiet time so that we can have fun this afternoon.
a: But I want to go to Wonderlab NOW (I am sure you can hear the tone, just in between whiny and supplicant, with that hint of teary eyes etc)!!!
D: Well Amélie, we can't go to Wonderlab now, but if you help a lot, we can go later. We already took you to Tae Kwondo today, it's not all about you!!
a: It's not all about you either Dad!!! It's about the WORLD!!!

OK see, now that's progress :)! Dad even has high hopes that these are the seeds of Amélie becoming a global citizen... I must say that in my end, I think it's wishful thinking, but hey balanced optimism is allowed!
