As Micah’s mobility has increased, so has his “accountability” for his actions! Mara is hearing me say ‘no’ to Micah a lot more these days.
In typical fashion, she imitates me, following the child around the house, saying, “No, Micah! ON-ly Mara . . . No, Micah! Eat your peas . . . No, Micah! No books!”
“Mara, you don’t tell Micah ‘no,'” I instructed. “I am his mother. I will tell him ‘no’ if he needs to hear it.”
Without missing a beat, she insisted, “I’m his mother too!”
Poor little guy–it starts early!
