Peace and quiet

Saturday afternoon we went to the Dells and Brendan got to play outside since it was so warm. He ran and ran and ran. His legs were soaked to his knees from splashing thru puddles but he was happy as can be. We left at naptime. He slept for a couple hours when we got home, but the dogs woke him up when Jeremy got home. I would think he slept long enough, but apparently not. He whined and cried off and on for about two hours. He stopped long enough to eat dinner.

After dinner I threatened him a time or two. I threatened to send him to bed at 6:00. I ended up sending him to our room and turned on Backyardigans. What else? I left the room thinking he would follow. He didn't. I checked on him a couple times and he was happily glued to the TV. That episode ended so I started another. And another. And another. He ended up in there for about 2 1/2 hrs. Sometimes he would be dancing in front of the TV. Sometimes he was sitting on the floor. Sometimes he was chilling on the bed. A couple times he even got up and slammed the door shut because, apparently, whatever we were watching was annoying him.

Here are a couple pictures of him watching TV.
