Tonight I had a parenting epiphany: "Why Fight It!?!". I was trimming Oliver's fingernails in the sink and he was fighting to play with the faucet - he's become obsessed with water recently. After finally getting his nails done I realized there was no harm in him getting a little wet, afterall it was going to be bathtime in 15min, so why was I putting up such a fight? Let the boy play!
Less than 2min after I took this photo, Oliver realized that its not fun being soaking wet. Of course, the lesson was short-lived - as soon as I had him stripped down, he went right back to reaching for the faucet again!
