1, 2, 3....

A few days ago I decided to pull out the whole, "You better do .... by the time I count to 3, or else...."  I wasn't sure how it would work but James has responded to it very well and listened almost every time (other than the first few times when he had to figure out what it meant!  Well, tonight he pulled a bunch of papers out of a drawer and I asked him to return them.  He picked them up, looked at me, then put one finger up.  I realized that he wanted me to count, so I counted "1, 2, 3" and he brought the papers right back to me.  We had to repeat this for each trip returning papers to me!  It reminded me of all the times we would ask Douglas to get something for us and, to motivate him, we would time him!  I guess Michelle and I are partially to blame for Douglas being a runner!!!!  Either way, it was so cute tonight that James wanted me to count each time I asked him to bring me something!!!  So cute!!!!!!
