Do As I Say

I learned a very important mom lesson yesterday: when you least expect it, your kid will do exactly what you tell them.  Literally.  I was trying to wash some dishes and Seb kept crawling in my legs and pulling on my pants pockets so I handed him a pair of socks to distract him for a few more minutes, saying, "Here is a pair of socks, put them on your feet."  I said it because I'm trying to teach him his body parts and it was a good opportunity to link the feet and socks together.  He took the socks from me and I finished with the dishes.  When I bent down to pick him up, he was sitting there, looking at me, with a sock draped on top of each foot.  :)

Thank you for listening and doing exactly what I asked.  I wish I could say the same for other things we're working on learning.  Like "stop" and "no."  Those words seem to fall into the selective hearing category.
