Jon's new found (bad) habit is sticking his tongue out. God knows where he learns that from. Sometimes he will roll his tongue, licking his lips or just plain sticking it out. I tried so many ways to deter him from doing it by scolding him (first choice in the list) or with stern warning. If both fails, I will slap him lightly. I've checked with his teachers in school, but they are not teaching anything that involves tongue rolling and such. So, I strongly suspect that its just a habit he picked up from school or TV. After a few weeks of screaming, slapping and the evil-eye-look, he now responds very quickly with a warning.

Guess he is at the stage of mimicking what others do or picking up habits along the way. I prefer to catch the problem before it is too late to correct him.
