Jason - my wife always says "tell him!" when Jordan doesn't listen to her. He's 2. He can almost understand what you're telling him, but not really. I usually say "its okay that you took your diaper off and peed on the floor buddy. I actually think its pretty funny. The 2 minutes that it takes me to wipe up the floor will be well worth it in 15 years when I tell your girlfriend about it."

Thats my outlook on a lot of it. But she thinks that I should "tell him." I don't get too wound up about it.

Now... the 4 year old. He does things just to get attention and drive his brother nuts - while it is funny a lot of the time, he does end up sitting in the corner on occaision. The other day he was chasing Jordan around with a 4 foot tall Superman stuffed toy, and while it was funny, I think it was pretty traumatic for the little two year old who was running away screaming bloody murder.
