More from our daughter's mouth

Don't you just love it when your older child starts trying to implement your favorite parenting technique on younger siblings?  

Liliana got up on the dining room table and started to stand up on it.  Heather told her to get off the table.  Mattie then got up on the table and stood up, sparking the following:

"Uh-oh, Mattie.  Please don't follow sissy's bad example by getting up on the table," Heather said.
"Yeah, Mattie.  I'm tired of you following my bad example.  Don't you know that I'm not obedient?  Now, get down off the table or I'm going to shut you up in your room and set the timer for 5 minutes" came Liliana's added response.
