Full Time Friends

We had a little experiment with the boys this afternoon. As a punishment for all of their fighting this morning we grounded them from each other for 2 hours. They both had to act like they were an only child. They not only didn't have anybody to fight with, they had nobody to play with or help them out when they needed it. After the two hours we had a good talk about how a brother is like a full time, live in friend. I think it sunk in if only for a little while, we will see. The best part though is how they both watched the timer like hawks. Andrew even did a count down.
