Hi-5's all around the table...

So...we have been working with Landry on some of her habits at the table. Let's take for example, launching her milk cup when she is finished taking a drink, or gently dropping the pieces of food that she doesn't want on the floor, or when she is finished eating-launching her plate.

We have really been trying the positive reactions over the negative. When she puts her milk cup back in the spot...she gets a" hi-5" from everyone at the table. Same thing when she eats her food instead of playing with it (or feeding it to Buster) and when she hands us her plate after she is finished rather than throwing it on the floor.

Well....she loves this "hi-5" thing SOOOO much. She thinks she needs a "hi-5" every time she takes a bite of something. She will pick up her plate and set it back down on her tray just so she can get a "hi-5". She now gives "air hi-5's" to me and Ashton since we aren't sitting right next to her.

Whatever floats her boat and helps her learn some manners works for us! This is a phase that too shall pass.
