Sweet Boy or Mean Snake?

 
Daniel got in the car from school last Thursday so excited to tell me that he was a mean snake on the playground & scared all of the girls. He is 110% boy!
He is also the the most stubborn, strong willed child EVER! Of course, he gets this ALL from Dan! He went into his room on Thursday for naptime as usual. He always plays a little while & then gets in his bed & takes a nap. Well, he made a huge mess in his room, so I told him before he ever went to sleep, that it had to be cleaned up before he could come out. He went to sleep around 2:00, slept until about 3:30. When he got up, he whined a little about coming out & not cleaning & I made him stay in his room. Laura Ann & I left at 4:30 to go to a party & I told Dan what the situation was with the messy room & that he was still in his room. When we got home at 7:00, Daniel was still in his room!!!! Dan said he had come out once to use the bathroom & that was it. Dan offered him supper, among other things when his room was clean & he just stayed in there! I felt bad that he had been in there that long, but it was also funny that he was really willing to wait us out that long. Anyway, about 7:30, he comes out, announces that his room is clean & that he is hungry. He ate supper & was happy as could be!
