It's not like I don't know where he gets it from (me, lol), but my little guy can be sooo stubborn! I know this will be a good trait in some ways as he gets older, otherwise known as "committed" or "persistent," someone who knows what he wants and goes for it, and doesn't back down or allow obstacles to sway him.
Hopefully, though, as he gets older he will choose to be committed and persistent about things other than:
- refusing to get into the bath
- refusing to get out of the bath
- refusing to eat
- refusing to get dressed
- insisting on taking off his pull-up every five minutes
- insisting on wearing a Thomas shirt every day, whether it's clean or not
At least the things he chooses to be stubborn about are a window into what's important to him and what his preferences are...
