Wow, what a daughter you have Rouge! She sounds incredible, and so are you and your DH for raising her that way.

I'll be showing this to DH when I get home. DD is only just two and at the pushing boundaries stage. If we ask her not to empty her pencil case on to the floor she'll give a cheeky grin and do it faster (:lol). My response is to get on the floor with her and explain why we need to keep her pencils and crayons on the table or in the pencil case, and she gets down and helps me clean up. DH s response is to get annoyed and say in a rough voice "DD! I told you not to do that, why don't you listen?" Guess who's response works better? I think with him it's a patience thing, he's still learning
