Thank You Supernanny!

Blaine tuckered out around 7:45 p.m. this evening after skipping his afternoon nap. He was out in about 5 min flat...

That left Braylon and I to our own devices while Daddy went out with a friend. I rarely get to watch Supernanny because of church schedules and bed time routines, so I decided we would sit down together and watch the hour long program.

The episode was about a family with 5 school-aged kids who's behavior was well out of control. Braylon watched with wide eyes for about 20 minutes at the beginning and then pop-corned his attention the rest of the show. We watched the whole hour without incident.

Then.... As I was putting Braylon to bed right after the show was over, Braylon decided to give me a mini lecture on behavior. He said many useful things, but I just loved this line the most. "Those kids were acting bad. You know, you act bad like that, you won't get to do things you like to do. If you get in trouble a lot, it won't be very fun for anyone." I listenend intently, nodding at appropriate places and interjecting bits of wisdom into his deep thoughts.

Ahhhh....If only parenting were always this easy! HAHAHA
