Alex quotes books in much the same way that Adam and I quote TV shows. She has a talent for memorizing the words and working them into her day. This especially holds true for a book about rules: “No Biting. What can you bite? An Apple.” Such a great book (No Biting! by Karen Katz) for ilustrating the judgement of behavioral decisions. So armed with my book, I have a quick fix for Owen’s pinching of my face. I would read the book of some general rules to the little pincher and he would learn right and wrong much like Alex did.  I read 2 words of the book and he took the book and threw it across the room. Point taken.
