I had an idea to let G pick out a present for Alana.   It was a subtle attempt to teach G about sharing and empathy, knowing that whatever we picked would be something she would reallllly like to play with, which would belong to Alana.   It was an overt attempt to kill an afternoon letting her storm Toys’R’Us til they kicked us out or she burned it down.

the joystick should really be built into the throttle, G was bothered by this design flaw almost instantly

A lot of evaluation needed to occur, G flipflopped

very aggressive flip-flopping

i thought we were getting the dolphin, til a late rally by the giraffe

the immediate overflowing of sensitivity and sororitism did not occur. G took the big giraffe, and insisted on calling it Mommy Giraffe instead of Big Sister Giraffe. then she stormed off with both giraffes.

Perhaps we will have this resolved by President’s Day.
