Cesar the Child Whisperer?

So I've been watching a lot of daytime TV during my maternity leave. A LOT of TV. In fact, the one silver lining about going back to work next week is that it will save me from my all engrossing television. I knew I was in trouble when I knew all of the gossip about every cast member from the Vampire Diaries despite having never heard of the show six weeks ago. But I digress. One show that has been useful is the Dog Whisperer. I'd always watched Cesar Millan with fascination and sworn to myself that I'd apply his techniques when we become dog parents, but now I'm thinking that his technique - the whole calm/assertive energy thing - works pretty well on babies too. Treating the Peanut like an unruly puppy kinda works! She seems to feed off the calm energy (most of the time), and I get to feel good about being in control of the situation even when she's kicking off. I thought I was the first person to see our friend Cesar as a baby whisperer, but apparently not - even the NYT is writing about it now.
