oh no, Pip's still going through this! I find that I give him a choice of 2 things only - "It's snacktime, do you want an apple or watermelon". Is she helping you at all? You know, like "Can you get my slippers out from under the bed?" "Can you get me the purple blocks"?

We also taught Pip "inside voice" and "outside voice" and that he's only to use outside voice when he can't see us at all. Plus I can't bend over to give him cuddles, so I taught him that he needed to stand on a chair if he wanted cuddles, and we give him cuddles instead of picking him up when we're out.

Good luck - it is so ... frustrating ... when they are like this!!!
