Today Peter(3) requested that I put a video on for him. I told him it was fine and to ask his brother to put it in for him. He walked into the other room and bellowed, “Lenny, put in Lumpy” (his name for “The Heffalump Movie”). I told Peter that he needed to ask nicely with a “please”. So this time he began sweetly asking Lenny to put in the video. I thought that I had succeeded in softening my little tryant’s attitude until at the end of his sweet plea he added, “NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!”
