Baby Security, Part II
We asked her if she preferred cross-cut or diamond-cut.
On the flip side, SFDad had a flash of inspiration earlier today and he “solved” the climbing-on-sofa problem mentioned in the previous post. We could not get SFBaby to obey using all of our usual tactics (telling her “no”, picking her up and moving her away, making stern faces, and so on) so it was time to pull out all of the stops.
When she tried climbing onto the sofa this afternoon, I first told her “no” and gave her a stern look…but she kept going. I then asked her, “Do you want me to turn on the Roomba?” At that point, she whimpered and ran into my arms. She’s tried to get up on the sofa once or twice since then, but her advance was foiled using the same method.
The hardest part about this technique is trying to stay serious and keep a straight face while “threatening” her with the Roomba…
