Just in case I forget....

This morning after breakfast I was sitting here in my chair doing a little blog stalking, in the kitchen I could hear that Carter was getting into the dishwasher. "Carter," I yell, "get out of the dishwasher, that is not a place for Carter to play." He doesn't respond. "Carter, you've got two choices here, listen and obey or go to time out." Still no response. So the counting starts, he has till the count of three to make his choice and then it's a time out. Then came the response "Mom, that's what kids are supposed to do, not listen." HA! The workings of this kids mind cracks me up! The last couple of weeks when he's doing something he's not supposed to do, but very age appropriate, like making a huge mess, he'll say "but that's what kids are supposed to do, they're supposed to make messes." I guess I just need to be reminded every once in a while what a kid is "supposed to do."
