Trey Davey and Benji are good little boys most of the time. Lately they have been suffering from a bad case of the twos. They are maturing and testing the limits of their liberties and our patience. Both are independent and have grown fond of the words “Mine” and “No” and “I do it!” Each seems to ride an emotional roller coaster going from anger to laughter within a few minutes. They have slimmed down and become stronger than they realize. Now a hug sometimes becomes a tackle and a pat becomes a whack. We can patiently work with them on how to be gentle and loving to one another, but the recent outbreak of willful disobedience has really pushed our buttons. When they want to test those boundaries, we give them a 30 inch by 50 inch timeout space to think about their transgressions.
