Don't Pull Hair!
We bit the bullet last week with the failing parts of our pool, ordering a new pump, filter, chlorinator and kreepy krawly. The pool boy came today and set it all up, much to Anth's delight. No, not that kind of delight. Well, at least I don't think so! When I rang her during the day and found out they were there, all I could hear in the background was Aidan helling yelling "Pool Man is my Friend!" If that was the case, then he wouldn't have had any time to do anything other than placate Aidan and fix the pool.
When I got home, Anth and I went out to survey the left over mess, and the nice new system which replaced it. Both Callum and Aidan were left behind the pool fence whilst we reviewed all the new bits. The equipment is down one end of the pool area, where we couldn't see the back door where the kids were. Callum started crying, however, we just assumed this was because he wasn't in with us. We ignored him until his screaming got so loud we had to go and see what was going on.
Unfortunately, it wasn't because he missed us. When I got to him, his hair was standing on end straight up. The Eldest Boy bolted off, the remnants of hair mixed with chocolate biscuit still in his hot little hands. Aidan has a terrible habit of pulling Callum's hair, because he knows it will make Callum cry, which will also get him attention. Pity its all bad attention. "Don't Pull Hair" is a constant cry in our place. Tonight he was locked in his room, with the threat he wouldn't be able to go to his Awards Night coming up. Half an hour later he was very, very apologetic.
Ciao for Now, Hopefully the Hair Pulling Will Stop Angry Dad.

It's pretty tough to get away with the evidence (chocolate biscuit and hair) stuck in your hand!!! Hope the apologies were good ones!

Hair pulling no good !!
Hopefully this behaviour will be past-tense soon. Poor bubba !!
Don't you just love the mean and cruel acts that brothers will inflict on one another? My kids beat each other up all the time no matter how much I tell them to stop. GRRRRRRR. Poor baby Calum, he wil have some butts to kick when he gets bigger. :)
