Were Max and Sarah separated at birth?

You just described my house. I can whisper "cookie" in the kitchen and he'll come running. But "Off table", "Scoot back", "Put down the milk" doesn't register. I do find making eye contact and I mean right in front of his face works. And then the other day he was sitting in the frontseat because we were in Daddy's truck. We were at the McD's drive thru and he tried to open the door. I yelled NOOOOOO! and it must have been different because his lip popped out and he never tried it again. Of course my NOOOO was echoing off the outer wall of McD's so it must have broken the sound barrier. Sometimes I think I'm onto Max so much because he's into stuff so much that he tunes it out. And he gets lots of freedom. And he has a little brother so I understand not being able to be a consistent enforcer. Hopefully this is just a phase. When he runs outside and I yell STOP! I really think he hears GO FASTER!. Oh well. You are not alone.
