Practice makes perfect

Emilia becomes attached to random things.  Today it was a piece of ribbon. 

While we were on our walk Heidi somehow confiscated the ribbon and was running around flailing it in front of E.  Naturally E didn't appreciate this and started to cry and stomp around.  I told her that wasn't the right way to get it back and she needed to ask Heidi kindly for it.  Emilia insisted that it wouldn't matter how she asked because Heidi would say "NO!".  I encouraged her to ask kindly anyway because Heidi needed to practice being nice and taking turns.  Naomi, who had been a silent observer up to that point piped in.  "Heidi could be practicing saying 'NO!'"
