I often say this classic statement to Evelyn when she whines… “I can’t hear you…I only hear nice big girl voices.”
Yesterday, in a moment of frustration I spoke rather angrily as I instructed Evy to help me clean up the salad dressing she had just spilled all over the fridge and floor. Her response?
"what mommy? I can’t hear you when you speak in a mean voice. I can only hear nice words.”
I guess she had a point. Better work on that.
