Double Trouble

Dear Henry and Hazel, 
Today you had your first double time out.  The two of you had been working on the other's last nerve all morning, playing and then pushing or throwing stuff and then hitting...so at Hazel's last hit Daddy decided you both needed a time out!  Either side of the fireplace your butts sat, Hazel, you stay in place but aren't bothered by a time out.  

Monkey see, monkey do; you put your head in your lap trying to look sad about it.  When time was up you hopped up and said your sorries then Hazel smacked you again. 

UGH! So she is starting this new years taking a much needed nap and some time a part from you. I love you two rascals.  
Love, Mama
