Jaime was playing in her room yesterday and Ben was being a little troublemaker. He kept going into Jaime's room and kicking over what she was playing with. She finally got frustrated enough and left her room. She gets a small piece of scrap paper and her crayons and goes off by herself. She's gone for a few minutes and then she comes and gets the tape. She then tells me she solved the Ben bothering her problem she was having. I asked her "How'd you solve it?" Jaime says "Come look, Mommy." She leads me over to her bedroom door and I see what she has done.
She has made this sign and hung it on her door…
She then goes on to tell me how that sign means "No Bens Allowed."
I laugh at her and tell her, "You know what, pretty…I have days like that too."
I then went on to explain to her that that might not make Ben feel very good if he understood what it meant and while I was very proud of her for thinking of ways to solve her problem, this might not be the best solution because Ben doesn't really understand what it means and even if he did, it would make him feel yucky.
I think she understood.
But boy….I have those days…I just want to post a sign on the door, "No kids Allowed." LOL
My daughter cracks me up….
