How Awesome Is This?

I am making dinner.

Hayden is nicely coloring at the table.

The babies are in the other room 'playing' when the screaming and fighting starts.

Hayden looks up from his coloring and says, "Mom, I'll handle this!"

And he walks into the living room, silences the screaming and goes back to coloring.

*sigh* I think that I am in love.



Or its so cold outside that hell totally froze over.

either way, no more crying! let's just hope he continues to work his magic. then he can work his way over to my house. you think he could handle a 12 year old?

Rhea said...

That's so awesome! You need to figure out his technique

You know those babies must look up to him and love him more than anything.

I love that you didn't even question HOW he silenced them. No duct tape or boys locked in closets???

Lindsay said...

Kinda makes those hard days (or years) all worth it, huh? So sweet.

Jenni said...

You've got your very own Super Nanny!

CaraBee said...

That just might be the coolest thing I've heard all day. Go Hayden!

Lula! said...

I'm seriously considering forming the "Hayden Rocks!" fanclub. All these posts you've done about him lately...I mean, dude's so cool...it's warranted.

Oh, and I wanna be president of his fan club. Just so you know.

When I need another assistant I'm calling Hayden!

I think that Hayden needs to carefully outline his complete technique. You can write it all down for him. And he can illustrate it. Get it published. And count the royalties into your golden years. hey. If an 8 year old can write a dating manual, then I think your son can write a parenting text...

ahhh, what a sweetheart!

Jennifer said...

That's the best!! What a great helper he is!

Gretchen said...

OMG I totally would have given him $2 on the spot. To motivate him to do it again later!

And I have to ask... did you know your followers say "followering"? Uh, that's not a word. Maybe "following"?

First time on your blog and i loved the header and lay out.

Good luck with triplets :)

cat said...

Oh wow! Now can he please come and share some of that brotherly thing with The Little Miss who seems to think it is her job to start crying when the twins do.

Zip n Tizzy said...

I say keep him, and when he asks for a raise, give it to him.
What a sweetheart!
