Tonight as we were in the basement you tried again, but I don't think you picked the right battle this time. As you were playing in the basement you walked over to your chalkboard and began to draw. Which is totally fine.
It's when you tasted the chalk that we objected to your behavior.
We told you to stop, even threatened to take the chalk from you if you didn't quit. Neither of which worked. If we scolded you, as soon as we stopped you'd smile at us and back in your mouth the chalk would go.
We let you get away with things sometimes, but you also need to know when we mean business. You'll learn, it's all part of the process.
On a positive note, I also want to share this moment. You love to read, whether it's us reading to you or you reading to yourself.
This evening you were truly enjoying a book all by yourself.
