The other afternoon before nap....I was a mean mommy. At least that's what Juliette told Daddy before going to sleep, and what she reminded me of when she got up. Let me 'splain. After asking her nicely about 5 times to take off her pants to use the potty and her dancing around the room, I looked at her, raised my voice, and said Now. Boy that got her attention fast! We don't raise our voices to her very often- thankfully she is a great kid for the most part- trust me she has her moments. At least that told me she understands what it means when we do have to be firm. Not that she was happy about it...not one bit.
"Daddy! Mommy yelleded at me!" ..yep..yelleded.
When I woke her up...."Mommy remember when you yelleded at me? That wasn't nice. I'm sorry I didn't listen." (totally unprompted by the way)
