No he did not just say that.

I figured out this neat trick for getting Jake to do what I want sans the obligatory melodramatic tantrum... example:

Me: Jake, it's time to get out of the pool

Jake: Noooooooooooo!! [begin writhing and whining...]

Me: Ok Jake, 5 minutes. You have 5 more minutes and then you are coming out of the pool. FIVE minutes - ok?

Jake: [gives a slightly pouty nod]

Two minutes and 30 seconds later Jake is out of the pool without a fuss! Yay for Mommy!!

Fast forward 1 week.

DH: Jake, it's bathtime.

Jake: [Holding up one chubby little finger] ONE minute Daddy - ok? ONE minute.

[Goes back to doing what he was doing like he's the boss]
