So I chose a battle with her face and hair, and armed myself with Goo Gone, a hairbrush, and peanut butter, rather than taking it up with a four-year-old who knows her mind.Sigh. Sometimes I wonder if I’m winning the battle but losing the war….

And why did you give her the gum?? And also, I had been attributing not only Jack’s impecable manners to you but also his need to stay dry and clean. He is always coming to me to have his hands wiped and is constantly reminding me he needs a napkin. But obviously it was not the influence of your family. So he must have just inherited that from his dutch Grandma.
