The Principal's Office...

Well, Ben had another first today.  His very first trip to the principal's office at school... I was disappointed that his first trip had to happen when he is still in Preschool, but let's face it... our little wild man was bound to end up there soon enough....

Ben and Conner have BOTH been a little out of control lately.  I blame it on the fact that they are getting bigger and smarter and think that they can get away with more stuff now.  They also think that since there are two of them, they are always right and whatever they do is completely hilarious to each other... never mind anyone else...  So, at school, Ben kept saying the word "poopie" and then laughing.  He was even trying to get one of his friends to join in with him.  His teacher gave him a couple warnings and then he was sent to time out in the classroom.  After his time out, he was told that if he said it again, he would have to go sit in the principal's office.  Well, he said it again...  (Miss Amy told me that she had run down to the office and told the secretaries that Ben might be joining them soon and they were not allowed to talk to him!  They love him, so I giggle just thinking about Ben sitting there and the gals in the office trying their hardest to ignore him because he's in trouble!)  Anyway, so Ben got sent to the principal's office where he sat by himself for five minutes.  His teacher said that he was pretty quiet after that and that maybe it had made an impression on him so he wouldn't be saying "poopie" anytime soon.  I was hopeful that she was right... until 5 minutes later when we were driving home and he yells out "Poopie!"  Seriously?
