My boys do play well some of the time but the fights are worse - they are both bigger and a lot rougher with. I struggle with getting in between to stop things (and usually getting just as hurt as them) or letting them sort things out for themselves. They just aren't there yet, though. Too much 'blind rage' from both sides, I think.<br /><br />So I am looking forward to the return of school mainly because it is more peaceful more of the time, relatively speaking!DQhttp://www.ishouldhavecalledhimcalvin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963954635935513841.post-58993560553722086882010-04-19T00:06:18.076-07:002010-04-19T00:06:18.076-07:00Yup :)

And don't forget the "can't talk now, I have to make the dinner".<br /><br />It's the routine involved with school/work and all it's trappings that leaves no room for time to stretch sometimes when it needs to.<br /><br />Can I turn the clock OFF occasionally?Lisanoreply@blogger.com
