First day at day care bargain

Today was the first day at a new English only day care. Gwenchik dressed up and, with her new lunch box in hand, marched to the playground tagging me along. She refused to let go of my hand, though there was her favorite boy Lesha at the playground, that she know really well.
Me: Gwenchik, I need to leave for work.
Gwen: No, I do not want you to go.
Me: You know, if everything works well today at day care I will try make one of your reasonable wishes come true.  (I thought, probably ice-cream and such)
Gwen (easily letting go of my hand): Well, I will get to sleep in my dress! Any dress I choose tonight!

Magical beings

From Veronika
We are driving back from the day care and discussing magical beings:
Gwen: Tiger is an animal, dog is an animal. Baba Yaga (witch) is not an animal.
Veronika: Baba Yaga is a magic being.
Gwen: The good Baba Yaga is a magic being, but what about a bad Baba Yaga?
Veronika: They both are magic beings. Sometimes one needs the good one, other times, the bad one.
Gwen: No, if they are good and bad, they are people.

Exceptions

Gwenchik is leaving for day care in the same dress that she wore yesterday.
Me: You should try to wear different dress everyday, just like Mom
Gwen: You right, but let make an exception today.
Me: Ok
Gwen: And then we can make an exception tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..
