Thanksgiving at day care

The wednesday before thanksgiving Raina's daycare had a thanksgiving party. It included a relatively extensive buffet which all three of us hastily devoured. When the meal was complete and it was time for Krystal and Eric to leave, we got up and asked Raina to come over and give us a hug. While she was doing this another kid (Jaden) chose to go sit in the chair formerly occupied by Raina. When Raina discovered this she logged a formal complaint by fussing to her parents. But there were many other chairs to choose from and she was done with her lunch so it didn't seem to be necessary to try to get her chair back. Raina, upon discovering her parents were not going to retrieve her lost chair, broke down into a crying mess about it. At this point the Whompton parents are pretty unified that she does not get what she wants when she reaches this stage of fussing due to traditional anti-terrorism arguments. But then her favorite teacher, Jen, came over and asked what was wrong. Raina gladly gushed and whined her complaint to her new audience. And to our horror, she immediately turned around and demanded that Jaden move to a different chair. We immediately suggested that that was not necessary and then were horrified when Jen responded by saying "When she gives me that sad puppy dog face, I can't help but give her what she wants". AHHH!!! Our daughter has her 2 year old room teacher totally wrapped around her finger. Jen has told us that Raina is her favorite before, well at least we tell her no at home.
