Ryan is my ultra-responsible, mature-for-his-age child. He really is a big help to me with his brother and sister. Well, the other day he was having a bowl of cereal for a snack after school, and Emily wanted to sit by him and have a bowl, too. So I got her some cereal and asked Ryan to keep an eye on her so I could continue with my daily puttering (you know . . . laundry, laundry, and more laundry). Well, a bit later I heard Em crying, so I went up to check on them. Apparently, she decided to dump her cereal on the counter and spread it around (she does this sometimes . . . she's almost 2). Ryan proceeded to get her down, clean her off, set her on the mat (that's our time-out spot), set the timer for 1 minute (you know . . . one minute per year for a time-out), and clean up the mess . . . all by himself! The reason Emily was crying was because she was in time-out . . . she stayed on the mat when Ryan put her there!

Jaime,that is so funny!! I love responsible helpers. They make me so happy. Good job, Ryan. :-)
Beats the heck out of tattling! That is hilarious, he is soooo cute!
Are you sure your puttering didn't go more like this... (laundry, Webkinz, and more laundry)???
Just checking!
