Prepared for Punishment

There is an occassional need to actually punish our little angel.
A recent "battle" has been Charlotte's propensity to ask for a second potty trip after going to bed within seconds of finishing our bedtime songs and kisses. We've warned her and warned her again to make all her pee pee all at once when we take her before going to bed. Nonetheless, time and time again she waits two seconds or less to ask for another trip.

Last night David told her that if she does this again tonight she would have to forfeit one of her bedtime books.
After her pee pee trip, four bedtime songs, hugs and kisses, we left her room with wishes for a pleasant night only to hear her on the baby monitor in the living room. So, off I went to her room and as I walked in the door I gently reminded her that I was there to not only take her pee pee as requested but needed a book from her bedtime selection.

There she was on her bed...book poised in hand and said to me, "I don't like this one much it's for you."

Ah, prepared for punishment and justifying her sad need to give up a book.
We're hoping that she will learn from the consequence even though she is taking it well.
