I like to pretend I’m my own boss (shhh don’t tell my husband I said that), when sadly I must confess that my boss is a three year old little girl, we’ll call her Morgan.

This morning before leaving for preschool we had the following conversation:

Morgan: Mommy can I wear my Tinkerbell shoes to school?

Me: No honey, we need to save them for Halloween. You don’t want to get them dirty do you?

Morgan: Yes

Now there were a couple of choices that I had at this point. #1 was to spend an hour trying to convince Morgan that the shoes just were not for preschool, or #2 I would just let her wear them so I wouldn’t be late getting in to the office. I guess this photo will clue you in to what choice I went with. Some days you just have to pick your battles.

Today’s score for those keeping track is Toddler: 1 Mommy: 0.
