I have been taught my first lesson so far:
DO NOT even try and dangle some sort of incentive over kids...they will not forget and they will guilt you...and when the guilt can't bring down your Berlin Wall of stubbornness they will look for a new angle.
Case in point: This morning, I uttered the words "if you're good, I'll take you guys to Blockbuster." At the time, this seemed fairly innocuous.
They (Owen) did not agree with me.
The 3 year old girl is napping. I have tried to keep these two fairly quiet with things like Thundercats (Kudos to that guy by the way...still watchable) and various other shows...
However, they keep alternating between rolling this giant Tonka truck on the tile floor (creating tons of noise) and having Owen sprint and knee slide like David Lee Roth.
In addition, they keep dropping these sly "uh oh I think I hear Summer calling you" hoping I'll go wake her up accidentally.
The third time I bite and I head upstairs...I didn't even hear the footsteps behind me. By the time I hit her door I see shes asleep but I feel someone coming...I spin and here comes Owen like a mini freight train.
This kid is good. Luckily, I am bigger.
I intercept is attempt at waking her up.
I am in over my head.
