What might work is asking the little lady: "Guess what kind of surprised Daddy Bear has come up with."
As kids are limitlessly creative she'll come up with about a 100 ideas within a few minutes. You just have to say: "Very close that one, but no." Or: "Now that might still be a better one than I had come up with!"
Ha, thats fantastic and something I will do from here on in! Or rather maybe in a year or so as she is still at the stage of talking unicorns and crazy things that don't exist but in future she will be my guide!
Haven't seen any unicorns lately, so that indeed is not an option. 😄 The surprise and presents future is secured!
Our house is full of the damn things. The only plus is that they are all stuffed toys and the house isn't full of rampaging horse beasts!
It's a face, it'll pass, one day. 😄👍
Sometimes I think I dont want them to pass and others I cant wait, lol!
