We've been trying to work on that with our son, who has recently developed a sense that we must be buying something for him (not a toy, necessarily) every time we set foot in Target. I've had to set a whole series of rules for what it will take for him to earn the new bathing suit he both wants and needs. But otherwise, honestly, he would be whining for something else new again the next time. This is a hard thing to teach, I know -- so good for you for how well you've done!MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-83916657021145886262009-03-17T16:04:00.000-04:002009-03-17T16:04:00.000-04:00Ha!

We stuck to the dogs and cats. The stepgranddaughter did have a hermit crab for a while but it just sort of disappeared and I really don't know what happened to it. Maybe it just died and she buried it or something. Who knows.
