Rules are meant to be broken

Scott has had a tendency to make a mess in his room - dumping toys all over. So today I told him to clean them up. (mom is done cleaning it up over and over!) He made a small attempt and then started playing with them. So I walked by his room and told him again to put things away.... this cycle continued for a while and each time I had to tell him my voice level increased. Finally we were both frustrated and Scotty replied as I passed his door, "No Yelling Mommy, No Yelling!" :)
