Peer Pressure

I have been trying to talk Mayhem into doing stuff on his own, rather than going and picking him up to make him do something.  For example, I am trying to tell him to come here and lay down for a diaper change, rather than going, getting him, laying him down, and forcing him to lay still for a couple minutes.  This is not going well.  Today, my theory is to have Mischief go get him, ask him to hold hands, and she tells him to lay down.  Then, she puts her hands on his shoulders, gently lays him on the ground, and tells him to "Down, Stay."  He does everything she tells him to do!

Things are always easier for me when peer pressure is involved.
