Follow-through

When I'm tired or busy, discipline can get a little lax around here.  It can seem like the inmates are running the place.  Usually this can be corrected by careful follow-through on a promised consequence.  Philip & Gabe would NOT leave each other alone Thursday morning.  So help me, they sounded like they were straight out of a Bill Cosby sketch, or my own childhood.  I gave them an ultimatum:  if they couldn't get through 24 hours without fighting and/or calling each other names, they would become roommates on Saturday.

They just couldn't help themselves.

Now Eric has his own room and Gabe & Philip are roomies.  

The best part is, as soon as we got things switched around, the new roomies played great together for half an hour until Gabe's bath.
