Here's how great they are.

I had to scold him this morning because he got in the bathroom wastebasket and scattered stuff all over the house.

I told him to sit, and said...NO---NO-- a couple of times showing him the basket.

He looked crestfallen. Sad---he knew he messed up. His expression was amazing--- like---uh oh---I messed up.

What's weird is I felt really bad about it because of his expression.
