Booyah

It took Logan five days to clean his room this week. The house cleaners are coming tomorrow, so this was his last shot. He needed to clean his room tonight or else the cleaning people would "vacuum up his toys", which is what we've taught our boys. At 6 and 4, they still fear the power of the cleaning people. 

So tonight, we told Logan after dinner that he needed to go back upstairs to clean his room. He was still sitting at the kitchen table and resisted, but we said he had to go. Then we got distracted. Brody asked to put music on so we could dance and Jacob played their new favorite, Radioactive. The music started, Jacob, Brody, and I started dancing, and Logan just watched for a second. I actually saw the moment that it dawned on him that we weren't enforcing the room-cleaning request. He jumped off his chair, shouted "Oh yeah! Booyah!" and joined in the dance party. 

Sigh. Not only did he ignore our request but he also gloated his win. If my kid is going to disobey and rub it in my face, at least he does it in a way that makes me laugh.
