Why We Give

There are many reasons parents give to their children.  Of course we love them and want them to have the best of everything, including sleep on a new toddler bed.  Tonight, my wife wanted me to get one of the baby dolls for our toddler to sleep with because she loves to sleep with her babies.  I thought, "brilliant!" but not for the noble reasons my wife mentioned.  Worried that she would be tempted to keep getting up from her toddler bed, I was excited to have something to threaten to take away if she didn't stay in bed.
