ninevirtuesI'm staying with my sister, her husband, and their 18-month-old daughter.
It sounds like this:
"Lauren, please eat your carrots."
"Lauren, please do not drop carrots into your water glass."
"Lauren, please do not reach into your water glass to fish them out. Here, let me handle that." (My sister uses a spoon to fish out the errant carrot.)
"Lauren, please eat your carrots. Do not fling them."
"No, you may not go yet. We're not all done eating."
"No, you may not crayon on the couch."
One mother's day per year is _not_ enough.
