Yesterday Little Miss watched as Charles opened her CD player, pulled out the CD, and I blew the various food particles and dog hair out for better playing. Once the CD was back in place, she insisted on mimicking.
Opened the CD player. Removed CD. Huffed and puffed and blew. Put CD back. And proceeded to do it, again. And again. And again, again, again, again, again.
We stopped her this time saying how proud we are that she has cleaned out the CD player and we can now hear the music again. Tried to distract with other toys/activities. CD player is on her mind all.the.time. now.
It continued today. The obsession with the CD player. After about the 65th time of telling her it was all clean and flat out telling her no, not to touch {oh yes, she's now saying no after the many times she's heard it today}, I slightly popped her hand.
She stepped back. Looked at me. Popped her own hand. Laughed.
Obviously that isn't the method of discipline to get through to her... We have not done time out yet as I have thought she's too young to truly understand. Maybe she would though?
