Jeff developed a system so the kids wouldn't fight over whose turn it is using the TV. Each hour is appointed with an alternating name, Sam, Ian, Sam, Ian, etc.
One morning before a school day, Ian wakes up and comes downstairs. He sees that Sam has already woken up and is happily watching a "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse".
Ian looks at the schedule and says, "Awww, it's my turn to watch TV".
Sam replies back with, "Well, you should've woken up earlier then."
******************************************************************************
Sam has been acting very whiny and demanding, more when we are at home, than anywhere else. It's the kind of noise that grates on you. Jeff and I refuse to do anything to help her get what she wants when she is screaming at us. Ian, however, likes to swoop in and be her savior. He'll go to her and give her a big hug and do his best to calm her down.
After witnessing this last Ian-comes-to-the-rescue session:
Jeff: How sad, Ian is a better parent than us.

My mom came for a visit this past Tuesday. On Monday, I heard Sam say to Ian:
"Just one more sleep Ian and Mom-mom will be here!!"
