Teamwork

 2008, December 23, Tuesday

Daddy had gone to work today while we waited for him at home. In the hours of boredom, the boys decided that they would play with the pillows. And as usual, they would leave all the pillows out of the pillowcases. And that makes me mad all the time.

This time Ivan was the one who had removed the pillow case. So I insisted that he placed it back again. He was resistant and screamed. But finally realized that I wasn't going to take no for an answer. He once, twice, three times but could not place the pillow into the pillowcase. Immanuel tried to help but I stopped him. I told Immanuel that he could give his brother verbal instructions but he was not to help him physically. After a while they got the hang of it. I was glad to see them work as a team. Ivan was happy when he had placed the pillow into the pillowcase. And I am pretty sure that after this, he would know what he will have to do if he should take out the pillow case again.
