We pretty much have the Missionaries over at least once a month, sometimes more and generally have Olivia, Rusty, Brayden, Noah and Phillip over at the same time just to have family time on Sundays. We all get caught up in the visiting and talking and overall enjoying the day.
Well, Brayden has a time out stool at our home and has utilized it numerous times. This particular Sunday, I happened to be talking and squatted down to sit on his time out stool and Brayden happened to notice and stated " Nana, you in time out?" I answered, "yes, Nana's in time out" just horsing around with him and not thinking much about it.
A few minutes later Brayden said, "Nana, come here I need to talk to you". So I proceeded to go over where he was seated and squatted down to his level to inquire what he wanted to tell me.
This is where the reality of what he was doing hit me. "Nana, you're in time out, you didn't do the dishes good". I said "what??" and he repeated, "you didn't do the dishes good so do good and no more time out ok"? " I love you " and he proceeded to give me a hug and kiss and send me on my way. First of all, for him to think of "why" i was in timeout? and second, totally following the protocall that is done with him every time he is put in time out. I was totally blown out of the water.
