We (for the first time ever) took a family vacation for 10 days. I was closed 7/4 to 7/15. This week has been an adjustment back for everyone.

DCB 3 (almost 4) is usually one of my best kids. He's been in time out twice a day each day that he's here. He rarely is ever in time out. Maybe twice a month. His other new favorite thing to do is to question everything I tell him/ask him to do.

Me: *Johnny please go wash your hands for lunch.
*Johnny: Why?

(During morning nap)
Me: Everybody, lets remember our inside voices the baby is sleeping.
*Johnny: Why?

(End of the day)
Me: Come on *Johnny, let's go downstairs and get your shoes on, your mom is here.
*Johnny: Why?

This is just 3 examples, but it has been constant all week. Very glad tomorrow is Friday!!!
