my floors got waxed today!

with a roll of wax paper! sy found the extra roll stash and took the whole thing out before i found him. my eyes got big. i was almost upset. then i thought - i better grab my camera! (after all, when the other boys were this age, i missed the photo op with 2 dozen eggs on the dining room carpet! and this was way less stressful than eggs!) so i think sy was in shock when i left him for a moment, having said nothing, and came back and tried to get a smile.

does this promote the behavior?

here you see him sitting in the drawer amidst juice boxes, pasta, and foil rolls!

the big kids were pleased that i didn't get upset and jojo was about to try to roll the paper back up when i just tore it off and said to go play. he ran through the kitchen & toy room, out the back door and around the house to the dining room window.

fortunately, about that time his sheet broke and kiki picked it up. he got almost as far when ky got her sheet. they ran about for over 30 minutes. after what was a pretty crazy day, it was definitely worth the 99cents i paid for the wax paper!
