Family Loyalty...Sort Of

Jack doesn't have to be put in "time out" too terribly often, but when he does you can rest assured that it has something to do with his little brother. Whether it's a little shove here or a full on body tackle there, an attack on little Bear is almost always the reason behind Jack and his "time outs." We've all pretty much got the routine down...Jack is warned about his behavior, Jack ignores the warning, Jack is put in time out, Jack stays in time out, and then we slowly venture over to make sure he understands why exactly he is there. And in true Supernanny fashion, we then discuss how he cannot run over his brother with the 4 wheeler or kick him off the back of the dump truck or any other acts of brotherly love. Jack is then expected to apologize to his brother, hug him gently, and then we all go about our day until the next act of violence. We have only one little problem with this routine and his name is Hayes Rylan Fisher. No matter how upset Hayes just was about the 6 pillows Jack had just piled on his head or how upset he was about the out of the blue body slam he just endured...no matter what has just happened or where in the house we have placed Jack to think things through, Hayes will painstakingly search and inevitably sniff his older brother out. After he finds him, he then makes a mad dash and will either sit as close as he possibly can to Jack or sometimes directly in Jack's lap. He then proceeds to do his best to make Jack laugh which is not that hard considering Jack absolutely loves that his sweet little victim has come to rescue him from the humdrum of a normal "time out." As you might have guessed, the "time out" has lost quite a bit of credibility around here so today I decided to make matters even worse and take a picture of the two of them sitting in the corner. Yes I know Supernanny would have a cow, but I figured there is something to be said for family loyalty even when it comes after a cheap shot!
