My sweet little manipulator

Today, Aidan did something (I can't remember what now), and I told him to go to timeout. I counted to three, and he didn't go, so I told him to go to his room (the worst punishment EVER in his mind!). He cried and screamed the whole way down the hall, and then when he got into his room, he cocked his arm back and slammed the door with all his might. The problem was that the baby safety block was on the top of the door which prevented it from closing it all the way. He screamed, "MOMMY! GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW AND TAKE THIS WHITE THING OFF MY DOOR!" I went along with what I was doing, and a little while later, I saw Austin heading down the hallway to go to his room to play with Aidan. I explained to Austin that Aidan was in trouble and that he couldn't go in there. Austin said, while hitting me, "Bad Mommy!" I threatened Austin with time out, and he went along. Aidan came out, and in his sweetest voice ever said, "Mommy, will you please take the white thing off my door?" I took it off and walked away. Halfway down the hall, I was met with loud SLAM of his door. :-)
