Actually, she is really well behaved for a 2 year old. We shower her with attention for a limited amount of time and allow her independant play time. Her only problem was putting her toys away, which I delt with. Besides this, which isn't really misbehaving in my eyes, she is very model of a well behaved 2 year old. Yes, we used duc tape. She ended up sticking some of it on my 10 month old Beagle, Jack. He didn't like that one bit.

Of course, but we've been teaching her social norms for 2 years, and this is a recent thing.

At first, that was both my and my wifes suspician. Working off that theory, we tried to give her equal attention before the guests got to our hose as she got when the guests were there. No difference. I'm now under the impression that the attention from uncle Joseph and aunt Mary is different than the attention from mommy and daddy. Of course, asking the guests not to pay her attention is like asking a fly from not looking at a lightbulb. She is adorable, and she is acting up.
