Terrible, but Recruiting Twos

kay_gmdKosh has discovered the "joy" of being Twoish. That is he's not 2 yet, but he's embracing the concept like an underage frat boy embraces drinking.
He's being loudly bossy, and clearly enjoying doing things that he knows he's not supposed to. Anyone with spare patience or wisdom is encouraged to send it my way. Groblek can make his own request.
We'll work on helping him to make good choices.
This Thursday we got to practice about a half hour early like we normally do (it's when the bus drops us off). so we were sitting in the green round chair having a bit of dinner when a nice young man (LabWorker) stopped to admire Kosh and chat. LabWorker hung around while Kosh insisted on heading downstairs and out front of Haring where we caught Groblek heading in, and then headed back up to the practice room and got into almost all of the dances until he had to leave at 8:40 (we had a low turnout so we focused on dances that the newer dancers could do). He seemed to have a good time and gave us his email to sign him into the yahoo groups.
Quick Resolution update:
Exercise on board I got on the exercise bike less than I wanted to this week, but still got in at least 2 rides
Sweets doing okay the weekend may be a test will see.
Judgement has been tested a bit. I'm beginning to ponder when my behavior invites behaviors that I might judge someone for.

Two years old is just about the time when the kid can learn that spankings are an option for serious malfeasance.
The 'I am going to count to three' thing is also one that's good to settle in early. Don't add 'two and a half...'
