try having one in the building! We use the thing about 4 times a day, but heaven forbid somebody else push that button! Usually he pouts, which I am OK with. What ticks me off is when he cries about it. Especially most people if they see him coming will let him do it (most people are really considerate of little kids). It's generally when we are coming and somebody's already at the elevator or something. He can really hold a grudge though.
I've laughed at him a lot lately. He told me that if I did something, he was going to put me in time out and when I got done, he was going to put me in timeout again. He's big on telling me how it is right now... I'm sure his dad would tell me to put an end to it, but to me, it's just harmless attempts at self-expression and asserting himself. I can see the other side, but I'm OK w/it at this point..
