You know that sly look Max gets before doing one of his tricky things? Well, my son started doing the same, right before he pulled something on his brother.<br /><br />Max face.

My husband and I are slowly learning to try and instill in them a sense of responsibility. It takes time and patience. On all sides.<br /><br />Great teaching moment!!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06484208765656281917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-46676017766969900002009-11-10T15:22:01.823-08:002009-11-10T15:22:01.823-08:00I saw the exact same episode when I realized Ruby ...I saw the exact same episode when I realized Ruby was in charge.

If I wake up first, I get to watch it; if my daughter wakes up first, it's Spongebob (which I like, too; it's a win-win for me).<br /><br />My favorite episode is when Max wraps up his own toy to give to Ruby on her b-day. I so did that as a kid.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252733129326920169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-78678279347454524782009-11-10T09:42:15.698-08:002009-11-10T09:42:15.698-08:00Each and every child of mine has LOVED Max and Rub...Each and every child of mine has LOVED Max and Ruby. As do I. It is the only show I can watch over and over again and not get tired of.
