These boys sure do like to test me. I am already starting to struggle with discipline. I know, already?!?! For example, today Jack decided to remove the pillow blocking the pathway to the back of the t.v. cabinet. He knows this is "off limit" territory, yet he still can't resist the temptation. I go to the computer to check my email and literally 2 seconds later Jack and Adam are behind the t.v. After repeating "no, no, no" and dragging them out, I decided to "spy" on them. Sure enough, Jack goes right back to pulling the pillow out. I grab him, sit him in time out, and expect him to quietly sit there, assuring me he will never do that again. Instead, he laughed hysterically, thinking this new game I'm playing with him is great!
Another "fun" game the boys like to play is taking the phone behind the couch. If I accidentally leave it out they will hide behind the couch and start pushing the buttons. Once I finally get the phone back, the boys just chuckle. The phone and the Desitin tube and the two "off limit" items they love to get their paws on.
I better start reading some discipline book!
