"Palmer Did it"


My kids are so funny (funny as in goofy...but goofy isn't as nice of a word, so pretend I just said funny :)  I am learning to be patient with the whole idea of their thoughts being "what will happen if I do this."  Usually what happens is something being broken, ruined or a brother crying, but the what will happen thought I am finding to happen millions of times a day in my boys brains.  I really don't think kids should be punished for being curious, but at the same time it is important to teach them to try and think things through BEFORE they do them.  

Palmer's job every day is the boys' bathroom.  I try very hard to give him ownership of that job.  To teach him the correct way to clean it instead of coming in a cleaning after him every day.  He gets a little frustrated when he has to do it again because it didn't get very clean the first time.  One day after he had to go and re-do some of it I came back to find this message.  If you can't tell what it says, it says "Palmer did it."  It was written in toothpaste.  Josh and I laughed so hard about it because a-he totally told us who it was that did it (and who was going to clean it up) and b) the bathroom is his job, so he still had to clean it up.  He is such a silly and we let him see us get a good laugh over it and tell him it was funny...and then he had to clean it up :)
