Huddy Stuff

From Dawn:
Last night, we were trying to get the kids to get into their pajamas after bath time. Huddy kept running away from me so that he could play with his horse. After about 15 minutes, when I'd FINALLY had enough, I started the proverbial counting: "One... two..." Now typically Huddy will immediately come running at "two" but this time he stopped, looked at me, and smiled mischievously as I counted from two to "three." As I walked toward him to take him to "time out", he looked at me and said, totally nonplussed, "Are you picking me up to take me to time out?" "Yes," I said, as I picked him up. "But, no, mommy. Why?" "Because I counted to three and you didn't put your PJ's on," I replied. "No, mommy. This is not the deal. If you put me on my bed I will cry and be sad." (He said this as he was sitting on his bed, clearly not sad at all.) It took everything I had not to laugh hysterically. Clearly time out has close to zero effect on him. I can only wonder if juvie is right aroudn the corner.

From Maria:
I’m leaving for work this morning and Hudson is in the bathroom with me as I’m blowing my nose he says “Don’t cry Mommy, I’ll be sad”.
