Boundries

Testing lots of boundaries lately, you can really tell when your kid is doing something different, developmentally, when all of a sudden she turns into a little pain in the ass. Out of nowhere we are hearing a lot of "No" and "NOW", my least favorite words. So today has been the day of many time-outs. After receiving her second of the day for using the word "No" after being asked to do something I could tell I was making a little progress. At dinner a plate of cut-up apples was part of our meal. When Dad reached for the plate she said, "No, don't eat them all!" and immediately slapped her hand across her mouth and gasped, "Sorry!" She said "no", she was worried about the repercussions. I'll mark that as progress.
