I'm sure she's thinking "Fine, I'll drink if it will get you off my back - Sheesh!"
After all that I've read, I plan to continue that practice. Yes, she's spoiled but I can live with it.  |
Haha! I praise my boys every time they go to their water bowl, the same way I praise them every time they potty. My father jokingly complained, "I have to praise them when water goes in and when water comes out?!" Yes.
