It makes sense, because kids aren't "programmed" to obey,they are programmed not to obey!<BR/>I have done the same thing with you guys (trying various games like singing "clean up clean up, everybody clean up!") and I got worn out because you kids expected cleaning up to be fun everytime!

He can ignore me like I'm not even in the room with him!! Drives me crazy. But if I ignore him - OH NO - he doesn't let me get away with that AT ALL. For him, it may have more to do with side effects of radiation - he can only really do one thing at a time. crazy!! I can't get past it - I mean how many times should I really have to say put on your socks and shoes? Apparently the magic number is five. So now i'm thinking do I just say it five times each morning? lolLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439473763172611283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502274674084099280.post-74703773707034071522008-08-07T23:59:00.000-05:002008-08-07T23:59:00.000-05:00Enjoy this time (easy for me to say as mine are ol...Enjoy this time (easy for me to say as mine are older)....it soon goes to:<BR/><BR/>PICK UP YOUR CLOTHES..<BR/>CAN YOU PUT THEM IN THE HAMPER.<BR/>PUT ON UNDERWEAR(DIRECTED AT AJ)<BR/>CAN YOU WIPE OFF THE COUNTER?<BR/>WHO LEFT FOOD ON THE TABLE THAT IS NOW COVERED IN ANTS...<BR/>YOU CAN'T WEAR THE SHIRT WHERE YOUR BRA SHOWS THROUGH(CAN YOU GUESS?
