the reenactment

On Tuesday we went out to dinner. As we were driving home we were listening to Kiddo's music. At one point, Daddy started singing along, which is really not okay with Kiddo, so she screamed to let us know. This is not one of our favorite responses of hers, so, as we always do when she screams that way, we turned off the music for one minute. Daddy told her that the music would not turn on again until we got to the bridge. She asked for us to turn on the music, but he insisted we wait until the bridge. In actuality, it turned on a little sooner because he cooled down, and she had, immediately following her scream, said "Please don't sing" which is what she's supposed to do. She is making progress at least. And that was the fun music time that night.

On Wednesday we headed off to the zoo. We again were listening to Kiddo's music. At one point, for reasons I was not clear about she screamed. Then she screamed again louder. Then she started reprimanding herself, "Don't scream." Then she told us the consequences, "We will turn off the music." And she finished it off with the length of the punishment, "We will turn the music on at the bridge." It was a little complicated to drive, considering how hard I was laughing.
