Asides
Sibling Solidarity
My 4 year old son received a “timeout” the other day for various small-but-normal infractions. I think his sentence was 2 minutes in his Spiderman chair, and the chair happened to be facing the staircase. He sat down and faced the stairs with his little hands on the armrests, silent.
My 2 year old daughter noticed his predicament and dragged her Cinderella chair over and placed it next to the Spiderman chair, where my son dutifully sat. She reached her hand across her chair and placed it on top of his, said not a word, and faced the stairs quietly, mimicking my son’s behavior while offering solace in the form of sharing his fate.
After a minute, my wife noticed and of course was saddened to not have the camera with her at that moment. Timeout then officially ended for both and they were sprung free.
My kids rock.

How precious, Gino, aren’t kids awesome! In one moment you can be cross at them and the next they melt your heart. Let’s hope they never discover their power!
