the standoff.
I am simultaneously impressed and annoyed by the standoff Luke is having this afternoon against me and his eye drops.
I seriously had no idea the kid could be so stubborn.
I am not above bribery on this issue and just may have tried to win the standoff with the promise of a milk shake. When that didn't work, I encouraged his siblings to tell me how yummy their milkshakes were. Loudly. When that didn't work, I turned on a cartoon and invited Gracie and Drew to watch it with me. When that didn't lure him off of his bed, I turned the television up. The little stinker finally said, "I hear you and I know what you are trying to do, but I am not coming out if I have to get eye drops!"
He has chosen to sit on his bed for the past ninety minutes rather than get a tiny drop put into his eye. I have a feeling this may go on for a while.
I kind of bet that Gracie is hoping that it does. I'm sure she's wondering what other good things this could mean for her.
Unfortunately for her, I have entered the wait-it-out stage of the standoff.
