discipline....

Gavin ferociously playing with 2 dinosaurs...pauses..

G: "Mom, dinosaurs push him."
Me: "Tell the dinosaurs to play nice."
G: "Dinosaurs play NICE!"

At this point I get distracted marveling at how incredibly efficient the twins are becoming at dismantling a room, when I am brought back to Gavin's little drama...

G: "nine, ten, weven, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..."

I realize that he has put the dinosaurs in time out(by the way, time outs are great for teaching counting!)....and at the end of the time out...

G: dinosaurs hugging, "I sorry."

Then the dinosaur "friends" proceeded to go on a rampage together and eat all the other dinosaurs...

In other Barry happenings, I had my ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks great, the baby is measuring right on schedule. We brought Gavin with us, hoping to make this pregnancy more meaningful....hmmmm, not so much. As the ultrasound tech pointed out the "baby" and different "baby" features, he would correct her..."dinosaur baby." Apparently he wasn't 100% pleased with the last models and has some improvements that he would like to include this time. Sorry to disappoint you dude, it will probably look like a monkey at first, but doubtful a dinosaur.
