Apparently toddlers can be threatened. Tonight at dinner Emma kept standing up in her booster seat. Kevin just hates that - he's sure she's going to fall and land on her head.
Daddy: Emma, sit down.
She met his gaze and didn't move.
Daddy: Emma, sit down.
Mommy: Sit.
Emma doesn't move.
Mommy: Sit before I count to three.
I held up three fingers.
Mommy: ONE
Emma just looked at me.
Mommy: TWO
Emma looked at Daddy.
Mommy: Do you really want to get down from the table? Sit before I say THREE.
And lo and behold, and before I got to three, she sat!
I don't know who was more surprised - Kevin or me! Kevin said he'd have given 1000:1 odds of this working.
