Aubrey, get your feet off the table.
But they want to be on the table.
Well, when they try to come up on the table, tell them to stop it.
OK...but they don't listen very well.

More sarcasm:
The other night I was playing with the girls. I had the AquaDoodle thingie out - sort of like EtchaSketch with a pen. Aubrey said, "draw me!!", so I quickly did a line drawing of a girl sitting on the ground. Aubrey walks up, looks at it and frowns.
"Is that me....or a bumblebee?"
"Is that me....or a bumblebee?"
Speak and spell
Maybe most kids are doing this at 16 months...but Aubrey sure wasn't, so we're pretty impressed.
We're not really the flashcards - teach your kid to do math by age 2 type of parents. We'd rather they play and slowly learn what they need to know. But we've been working with Aubrey on her letters. She knows how to spell her name, but doesn't really like it so much.
So yesterday I said, Aubrey, let's spell your name. I said, "A", to start it for her, and instead of Aubrey taking it, I heard a little "Yoooooo" from beside me. It was Charlotte. Surprised, I looked at her and said, "B"....and she smiled and said "awwwrwww". I said, "E"......and sure enough, she smiled really big and yelled "Y!!!"
So...um...my 3 year old won't spell her name, but luckily her not quite 1 1/2 year old sister is there to help her. A couple more times since has gotten Es and Bs out of Charlotte. So I think the only letter she won't supply is the A, since that's our job to start it with.
