Yup, she'll make a good lawyer one day!
I have this technique with Alex when she's procrastinating - I tell her she has 5 seconds to do something or she will lose a privilege, and then I count out loud, in a loud, stern voice... "1....2...3...4...5" as she rushes to do whatever it is before she loses the privilege.
In typical fashion she was procrastinating last night and refused to go brush her teeth. So I told her she had 5 seconds to meet me in the bathroom or no bedtime books. She screamed and ran into the bathroom like a little tazmanian devil.
So about 20 minutes later, I was tucking her into bed and sitting next to her as we cuddled a little before I left.
And this is what ensued:
Alex: "Mommy, remember you said we don't yell or scream in this family?"
Me: "Yup, that's right Alex, we don't"
Alex: "When you say 1...2...3... you are yelling and it hurts my feelings. You shouldn't say 1...2...3... anymore because we don't yell in this family"
 I have to give her credit for having some really strong reasoning skills for a 3 year old!

Scares the daylights out of me, to be quite honest. What am I going to be up against when she's a teenager??
