Who's the boss around here?

Well it didn't take long for Maya to figure out how to get my attention!

Yesterday afternoon she was in her carseat carrier on the floor, while Matthew was laying on the couch beside her watching (what else!) Shrek. She starts fussing and is thisclose to screaming when I go over to her and put her pacifier in her mouth. I stay there and talk to her for a few seconds and she watches me intently. I then get up, go around the back of the carseat and over to Matthew to give him a kiss on his cheek. As soon as I'm out of her field of vision, she spits out the pacifier and starts screaming. OK, I go back over to her, insert pacifier, say a few words, and go off to do something else. Again as soon as she can't see me she spits it out and starts screaming. I go back, reinsert pacifier, and hide behind her carseat. Yup, she does it again. This time I tell her she's on her own if she spits it out again. She did. I refused to go over. After a few seconds of hissy fit, she stopped.

She tried to pull the same stunt again today but this time I wised up and told her I didn't want to play this game today and she'd have to wait til I was done. 5 minutes of crying and she was out like a light. Woohoo I won!
