Choice 1 or 2.....or 3


I try to give Colby two options to choose from when I want him to do something. For example, if I want Colby to clean up his toys, I tell him "You can pick up your toys or go to time out." This has worked really well. But lately he has been getting too smart and coming back with, "how about 3 choices, clean up my toys, go to time out, or watch a show." That tactic is going to have to be tweaked a little bit as he is seeing right through it! Dang!

That sounds like something Colby would say.

He is so clever! It makes me think of his phrase, "I'm gonna have to say no, Mama." I'm looking forward to spending time with y'all this weekend!
