If they really want said problem or issue fixed, they will figure out a way.<BR/>Nice job to your son on the water in the cup. I might have to suggest this to my son (who is 12) and been complaining about the ants for sometime. He has resorted to washing them off better and rinsing the sink completely, but the little buggers still seem to find their way to his brush. This time around I think I will give him the suggestion. He would never think of this one himself, in fact, I wouldn't have thought of this one!<BR/>much respect~dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9988715.post-1966743926564688652007-11-05T14:10:00.000+08:002007-11-05T14:10:00.000+08:00I agree that that it's important not to do for our...I agree that that it's important not to do for our little ones that which they can do for themselves.

But now they know mommy won't simply answer.<BR/><BR/>Sting:<BR/>Agreed.<BR/><BR/>a@a's mom:<BR/>I'm sure you have many in your bag as well.

If parents don't trust their children to do things, then the children grow up learning not to trust their abilities too.<BR/><BR/>Mummy to qiqi:<BR/>Thanks for the warning.
