RE: If you know the rules, you can break them.

That is a great take-away! That alone made it worth writing the post :-)
About the first part of your comment: It's actually something that I learned here in Ecuador. That you can't count on people complying with any rule, ever. One might think that leads to a higher situational awareness, but for some reason it doesn't. Sometimes reminds me of lemmings.
I see it in Lily, too. She is really good crossing the street by herself. But as soon as I'm around, she completely forgets about all safety, and just goes on. As if I could stop cars...

She feels safe with you and that's the good side. But dependency and complacency are dangerous. So you might want to ask her to teach you how to cross the road correctly - give her the responsibility, and make her learn by turning her into a teacher... disclaimer: I don't have kids.
Yeah 'Ecuador' and 'rules' in one sentence simply doesn't work.
That's an interesting idea. She did teach it very well to a friend of hers. As I said, she absolutely knows how to do it perfectly - it's just when I'm around that she gets careless. But maybe she'll get it when she has to show me... I'll try and let you know!
