Disgusting!!!!!!!!!

Skysue, he's awesome with that type of stuff. I could have cleaned it, but have a weak stomach and just cleaning off the kids was making me gag!!! I'm lucky he's got a rock hard stomach and nothing phases him. I've had to call him once to come home from work and clean up vomit as I just couldn't. He came home, cleaned it and went back to work!

Mama-Mia I am not big on 'hard' discipline. The kids that did it I have had for a year now so they know if I raise my voice and speak in my 'angry' tone that they are REALLY in trouble, because in their little minds I never really get angry. I am all about positive reinforcement for most behaviour issues and for me redirection works like a charm. I very rarely ever have to use time out, but yesterday they were both put on the time out bench because they are both old enough to know better! They also had to deal with being wiped down with cold baby wipes and let's face it thats not pleasant but there is no way I can bath them properly with 3 other kids running around.

I sat them both down and told them how disappointed I was ( I always found that telling my kids I was disappointed in them worked way better then telling them I was angry with them) and how gross and ewwww it was. Then I let them know that we 'lost' our outdoor time because we had to spend so much time cleaning them up that now we couldn't go outside and play. They sat out of our activities for a good 15 minutes.

Today at napped, they were told that if they did it again they would not be allowed to play with their friends this afternoon and they could not participate in crafts. I used my 'angry' voice again lol. Fingers crossed it was a one time event because seriously that is so disgusting. I know kids go through phases but this one MUST end asap!
