Testing the limits

In the past couple of weeks, Penny has made us think about discipline strategies. She is clearly testing the limits. Sometimes we play "nigh-nigh" on our bed, which is a game of pretending to sleep, cuddling, and tickling. One thing she has been doing is standing up on our bed when we have told her that she can't. She stands, we tell her to sit, and then she avoids eye contact and blinks a couple of times while still standing. This usually ends with taking her off of the bed and crying. She has a particular look when she knows that she is doing something bad. We've seen the look in other situations and we will surely be seeing more of it for years to come...
