Preparing Him For the Future
I stepped out of the shower to hear Buttercup keeping the little Caboose entertained:
"And THEN, I'll show you the timeout rug. You don't have to go there now because you are too little. But one day, when you are older, you will have to sit there a lot. Especially when you stick your tongue out at someone."










Oh my goodness--that's hilarious!
Perhaps she's a prophet...

That is so funny. She is a pistol that Buttercup. At least the little one will learn the ropes quickly!

That is so adorable. How sweet to already start to explain life to the baby.

He is just too cute...'lil punkin'.
And as for Buttercup's advice, that's a classic.

That is precious. It is nice to have older siblings to show you the ropes...er rug.

Oh btw, if you are interested we have some pics up of our friend's son who was due the same day as Caboose. :) He's a tiny little guy, under 7lbs at birth. Anyway, if you want to see him, he's here http://newdae.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/baby-noah-portraits/

You are such a nice mom to not make him sit there now if he sticks his tongue out. :) Sounds like Buttercup has some tongue taming needed. :)

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, um, if that's not passing the torch, I don't know what is;)

Absolutely priceless. . .we're figuring out our own time out rug situation these days, too. At least he'll know what not to do!

She sounds very wise for her age!

Nothing like an older sister to learn from! At least she is interested in "showing him the right path."
Posted by: Tracey | June 22, 2008 at 06:48 AM
such a sweet and caring big sister.
Posted by: Pamela | June 21, 2008 at 11:16 PM
Hilarious!
Apparently you've done your job!

Now that is some sisterly love. Next she will tell him all about the evils of vegetables and having to finish them before dessert.
