day fifty-five: she's so sweet when she's asleep

Just a tiny sample of today's many battles:

Josie: "I need water."
Me: "Sure, honey. Here you go."
Josie: "No! Not this water! I need the other kind of water!"

Josie (being carried into the bathroom by her Mama): "Ow! You hit my head on the door!"
Me: "I'm pretty sure I would have realized that if it happened."

Josie: "I only want macaroni & cheese for lunch."
Me: "I'm not going to make you macaroni & cheese for lunch, but maybe for dinner."
Josie: "Actually, I only want a milkshake."
Josie, reconsidering: "I don't want a milkshake! They're not yummy!"

Josie: "I have a cough."
Me: "I know you do."
Josie: "No you don't!"
