I let Sean water the hill again when we got home. With being pregnant, my first concern
getting home was getting to the bathroom. I told Sean he could play by himself as long as
he stayed put and was careful. It worked great and he was happily watering
the rocks and ivy.
Unfortunately I think is five minutes of unsupervised play gave him some ideas. While
we were out there, some girls a little older than him were on their balcony with their father
who was barbecuing. Sean took a little time off from watering to flirt with them. Later after
I had left for my monthly BookCrossing meeting, Sean heard a different set of girls outside
and decided to go outside to flirt with them but he didn't tell Ian! This is the first time
Sean has ever let himself outside like this. Ian understandedly freaked out and gave Sean
a stern talking to when he found him.
I think the leason of don't go outside without asking permission first has sunk in. When
I got Sean up this morning he was worried that he couldn't go to school because he was still
in trouble for going outside last night without telling Ian. We reassured him that he wasn't
in trouble any longer and could go to school. That cheered him up but he did promise to ask
permission the next time he wants to go outside.
