This is what Victor was doing yesterday when I repeatedly asked him to come to me to get his clothes on.
"Victor, come here..I am going to put your clothes on you."
"No, I not, I do my beach ball tricks" (followed by laughter)
This went on for four or five turns and then I just had to get the camera and take pictures of him doing the beach ball tricks.

--Let's just say, if I have to come get you, you are in trouble...
Right now I cannot pick him up so he really does have to be a good listener and come when I call.
..or not! :)
