We've been working lately on getting Baby J to stay in the living room. It's much too busy in the kitchen and too dirty in the entrance so he's learning to 'stay in the living room!!' The other day I heard him fussing while I was in the kitchen, pretty normal for him, and thought nothing of it... until I happened to look in and see this!! The kids have the dress up boxes out and L found a soft stretchy piece of cloth and tied it loosely around his little brothers waist and was 'keeping him out of the kitchen for you Mom!" LOL. I snapped a few quick pictures and then stopped it. L assured me he was only trying to be helpful, not just torture his little brother, so what could I do but thank him and ask him to try it a different way.. one that did not involve tying up his brother!!
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.
