Did she say something..I think I missed it....

There are times when our little toddlers are let's just say not being the best listeners. I know that they are toddlers but it can often become frustrating and I will (on occasion) have to raise my voice. Jackson has started to cover his ears in the hopes that he can always use the excuse that he couldn't hear me. Every time I see it, I let him know that he still can hear me and that what he is doing is not appropriate "big boy" behavior. Somehow, I have managed to create a mystique in his mind of how important it is to exhibit big boy behavior and I'm going to hold on to it as long as I can.
