AKA

Eva's identity crisis continues.  She has been Odette, Erica, Annalise, Pink Lelly, Serafina, Liana, Alexa, and my personal favorite Theodore!  I simply enjoyed watching reactions as I called Theodore and she came running.  She has been those names individually as well as any combination of them ( i.e. today she is Serafina Erica Annalise the pink dog cat).  Now if you forget and call her Eva (gasp!) she screams "I'm not Eva!!!".  So, we are working on that.  I have let her know she needs to say instead, "I am Liana, please".  This has been working to a degree.  Then the other evening she screamed and I redirected her.  However, she was not in the mood to be compliant.  So, after several prompts of "I am..." and no compliance I told her she was going to have to go to time out if she was unable to remind us the right way.  So, I prompted one more time, "I am..."  and she replied, "I am who I am and I am not Eva!"  I had to turn my back before cracking up!  Oh well, at least she is smart.
