Not Expecting It To Last

On Tuesday, for the first and perhaps last time in her life, Dorothy did what her Daddy told her to! Once in the morning, and then again in the afternoon, as she was crawling from the living room to the dining room, she stopped at the tape & CD rack, and reached for the tapes on the bottom shelves. I told her "No, Dorothy, don't play with the tapes." And then, she turned around and crawled away from the shelves!! I was stunned, especially the second time.

I'm certainly not expecting this behavior to last, and in fact this morning, she ignored me as I told her not to play with the shelves. But it was such a nice feeling to have for one day.

"Dorothy, you will not take the car to the liquor store, and then to Junior Prom!"
"Dorothy, you will not see that Hell's Angel!"
"Dorothy, you will not go to Cancun with the rest of the Sophomore Class!"

I see where this "listening to daddy" becomes such a big deal with parents...hmmmm....
