"MOMMY!"

I always have to remind Nate to stay calm when he's playing video games.
He gets so worked up...especially if anyone bugs him while he's playing.
And being typical brothers...Evan loves to bug him while he's playing.

Today Evan starts in bugging him.
Nate yells, "EVAN!!!"

I say, "Nathan..." in a very calm voice getting his attention and letting him know I hear his impatience at his brother.

Patiently and calmly Nate settles down and says back to me, "Mommy..."

"Self-control"...I say in a calm manner.

And very peacefully Nate says back to me, "I hate it when you say that."
LOL!
