keeping boys out of trouble

manning is turning into a little tornado of destruction like maddux was, so i pulled out an old trick and sat him on the counter while i baked.  he exhibited some extreme self-control as i was adding bananas to the banana bread.  he would put a hand up, catch himself and put it back down.  he did not touch a single thing he wasn't supposed to the entire time.  i was pretty impressed.  

as his reward, i gave him the spoon and 'empty' bowl to do a little sampling.  when i gave it to him, he didn't know what to do so he questioningly stirred in the bowl and watched for my reaction.  i told him that he could eat it and put the spoon into his mouth for a taste.  with a big grin, he got down to business.  love.
