Choices & Consequences

I often hear Trevan mimic my parenting to Mallary.

For example, Trevan tells Mallary things like this,"Mallary if you don't put that down, you're going to have a time out. Mallary if you don't give me that, you won't get any treats."

Today, I heard a new one...

"Mallary, if you knock down my blocks I won't be your brother anymore."

Of course, she knocked them down.

"Okay, I'm not your brother," Trevan said.

"I do!" she replied. (That's how she always responds)
