We've entered the stage where our children have started bossing us around. Making their demands known. Telling us what to do. D and I are fairly consistent in our approach to teaching them to make requests and ask nicely, etc., etc.
Part of their impetus is more of the play-by-play narration, but a bit preemptive because they like predictability in their world.
Tonight, at dinner, Rafa was in such a mood.
R: Mami, grab the bottle (my wine glass) [don't mind if I do].
Grab it lower [move hand down to stem].
No, with the other hand. [switch hands].
Mami, drink! [if you insist!]
And sometimes we don't bother fighting their bossiness and we just obey.
