			I think the only thing I could add is to tell your partner a couple more times that your there, we don't want to turn that into a conversation on the diamond during a rundown....but maybe esculate the verbal
 1) I got 3 (as you said)
 2) 3rd is my call
 3) I'm at 3 take second
 
 I dont' think I would go to a forth just do what you did after that, and I would have a conversation after the first incident to remind your partner that is your call and you were there, a nice reminder that he/she is working with an umpire that doesn't have a chain tied to home plate.  That you are going to be where you should be per the manual.  Also to see if he had a hard time hearing you call him off or what.  A nice, brief conversation but still let him know you were there and you will be there baring any SNAFU's that might occur.
