Ladies and Gentlemen, we have...self control! Something clicked in Matthew's head this week. It must have gone soemthing like this.
"Maybe, just maybe there is a link between Mama putting me in the naughty chair and this thing that I'm doing that makes her twitch.
It's not that the naughty chair is such a bad place - I get to lick the bottom of my shoes and sing songs there, but it's just not as fun as sitting on my brother or pulling all the videos out of the drawer.
So maybe, just maybe I'll remember the naughty chair when I am about to do these things...and just maybe I'll stop.
Wow...did you see the look on Mama's face? I think she's about to cry. Oh no - she's racing over to hug me. RUN!!
Yes, indeed this week I saw Matthew mature before my eyes. When we bring Isaac to karate, I usually spend my time trying to keep him out of the office (They have a very tempting computer there). This week he ran in as soon as we got there and I reminded him that he wasnt allowed to go, and if he did he'd go to time out. Do you know he never went back in ONCE? He'd walk by and look longingly but he never went in. Then at his Kindermusik class, Miss Jeanie was holding a hula hoop - which he loves. The week before he had tried to get it from her (before it was time to get his own), and this week, he took a step towards her (his eyes gleaming) and then ...stopped. Miss Jeanie noticed it too and gave him all kinds of accolades for taking the big leap to self control.
My Mama heart is bustin' with pride and love for my little monkey!!Add a comment:

Sorry to disappoint you but usually when they make these apparent steps to maturity it means he has devised a new war strategy. You know the adage " Never trust Greeks (kids) bearing gifts" I suggest you retreat and re-evaluate.
