Family Council

We had our first family council tonight. We wrote down some house rules for the kids, in an attempt to get things a little under control. We also decided on the consequences for breaking the rules. We are tyring Supper Nanny's approach with the naughty chair. Within the first 20 minutes of making the rules both of the boys were put in the naughty chair 3 or 4 times each. At least we made it clear that we aren't messing around anymore! Hopefully they will be able to remember these rules and change some of their behaviour. Not that they are REALLY bad, but they do jump on the couch, yell in the house, hit each other, things that just aren't acceptable. So wish me luck that I will be able to stick with this. I'm trying just about everything I can to make life easier for when this baby comes. :)
