Not Unusual

Roo's behavior is not unusual for that age. I believe you're handling it exactly right. Good call.

Thanks. I also had her take money from her piggy bank for it, even though she didn't get to keep the cube. It turns out that it didn't cost anything, apparently the little cubes are there for the kids to play with, but I made her give the store owner a dollar anyway, which she returned to me when Roo wasn't looking. She was very gracious and said it certainly wasn't the first or last time a child had taken something. I told her I was sure, but it would be the last time this one takes anything. I think it will, too. Fortunately, she's pretty easy to correct. She would make a lousy spy, though; she cracked like an egg under the slight interrogation we gave her.
