Battle of wills, or a day off?

So, the other day, on a time constraint, Venice and I had a major battle of the wills.. to get a diaper change and get dressed, or stay in pajamas. Well, Mommy and Daddy won in the end (after many tears and tantrums on all sides) and I was able to go to the mall for our mommy's group pictures.

However, today, I was not so inclined to fight, had no time constraints so did not fight her. She wanted to stay in her pajamas. Usually I can say, "when you're
ready, let me know and we'll get you dressed". Well, she was not ready until Daddy said he'd take her in the car after she dressed (this was after 4pm). So on her end, she got to wear her pajamas all day.

On my end, I refused to go anywhere (she wasn't all that interested anyway) and I did very little to entertain her. When she asked to play or do something, I said, "are you ready to get dressed?", she'd either reply "No" or she would repeat her question about playing. I would then reply, "Then you can do it yourself. As a result, I did emails, cleaned my office a little, worked on some digital pictures, watched MY TV for an hour, and more.

It was *almost* a day off for both of us :)
