Olivia's Aunt Margaret arrived in town late last night. It's been great having Margaret here, Olivia has been receiving presents every 15 minutes and we are thrilled to have Margaret here to entertain Olivia.
Margaret took Olivia to the playground this afternoon. The minute they returned, Olivia took off her shoes and said 'Elmo?' Since Olivia had already watched an hour of TV today, I told her 'No,' at which point she started crying uncontrollably. After a protracted crying fit and two time outs, she figured out that we weren't going to let her watch more TV today.
About an hour later, we asked Margaret how the trip to the playground went. "Olivia was having lots of fun. The only way that I could get her to leave was to say 'If we leave, we can go home and watch Elmo.'"

that's the job of the aunt/grandma. i expect pay back from my sister for every time i did something like that. of course, my brother isn't giving me pay back from anything i did for his son. he didn't even remember ben's bday. i think i'll pick the aunt that remembers his bday but spoils him.
