Shenanigans

The boys got sent to timeout yesterday for doing what little boys do. Breaking something, fighting, yelling, being mouthy...you get the picture. Jake went up to his room and sat there without a noise. Brady did too. Except, he didn't just sit there. He sat at his drawing table and wrote this;


Then, he got up out of his chair walked to the door and stuck just the paper out of his door. Cindy and I were still putting the train together by the Christmas tree or we wouldn't have seen it. We didn't say anything, so he stuck his head and arm out and waved the paper around but still said nothing. We couldn't see anything written on the paper yet so it was like he was waving a white flag. Eventually we released them from their prisons and it was then that we saw what he had written. What a guy. Sending him to timeout sucks, but this time it somehow calmed him down...and taught him to write his name correctly. Two birds, one stone.
