we've been working on respect and kindness around our house. the other day, carson was frustrated with layla because she wasn't doing what he wanted, and he yelled something to the effect of, "YOU CAN'T PLAY WIT DEM ANYMORE!!" we had a little chat about respect, and how it was much more important to help layla feel happy and part of the fun, even if she does things differently, because people are always more important than things.
it went like all these "teaching moments" go: pretty much a failure.
until today, when i was trying to work during quiet time (in which carson and layla are allowed to stay up IF they can play quietly and nicely). they were building all these lego robots for "the lego game" (carson's got some great game ideas lately...but that's another story for another time), and carson said:, "mom, we're about done and den you can play duh lego game wit us!"
me: nuts, carse. i've got to get some of this work done right now. maybe you guys could just play without me this time.
carson: no, mom. we can't. because you're WAY specialer dan dust [just] legos!
awww. i want that on a plaque.

Um ... excuse me, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but ... uh ... what kind of legos were they? Because in my experience ... well, nevermind.
