That's not nice!!

A conversation between Eric and Clayton (4 1/2 years old):

Me: "Please get off the couch"
Clay: "No. I don't want to."
Me: "I need you to get off"
Clay: "No"
Me: "1-2-3-4-5. Now get off the couch or time out"
Clay: (getting of the couch. crying) "I don't want you to talk like
that!! That is not nice!!"
Me: "come here"
Clay: (sitting on my lap)
Me: "Why do I have to talk like that?"
Clay: "It not nice! That why we get mad at you. Its not OK."
Me: "Well, there are reasons we ask you to do somthing you need to
listen. The baby is trying to sleep on the couch."
Clay: "The baby needs to wake up. You need to talk nicely."
Me: "I'm sorry. If you would listen I would not have to count. We
have to think about the baby, too. Can you play on the chair?"
Clay: "OK"

Jeriah's phrase for the day: "This is my pee pee sample.....this is my pee pee sample" as he ran around holding a cup to himself down there. At least he had clothes on :) He was with me at the OB for my last visit 2 1/2 weeks ago and for some reason thought about it today and that was the part he remembered.
