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."
Nice!
Maybe he will learn from her mistakes...lol

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

Apparently you've done your job!

such a sweet and caring big sister.

Nothing like an older sister to learn from! At least she is interested in "showing him the right path."

She sounds very wise for her age!

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

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

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. :)

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/

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

I love the fact that big sis is showing her little brother the ropes!!
That is so funny!!

Hee hee. That Buttercup is too funny!

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

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