Big Voice, Little Voice

Our son did not have to suffer tonight through any experiments on getting him to stop complaining about dinners, because we had dinner at a Halloween party. But, I did try something new to get our little girl to realize the difference between loud and soft voices. We played a game called big voice, little voice. I'd say, "Let's use a big voice." Then we'd hold our arms out wide and yell, "Mommy! Daddy!"--which is what she always does. Then I'd say, "Now let's use a little voice." Then we'd cup our hands around our mouths and whisper, "Mommy. Daddy." She seems to like the game, so we'll see what happens.
