It was on purpose, but I am not sure why I did it or what will become of it. I think that I had just had enough of the nastiness that had accumulated between them.
I put both Christian and Jakob in boxing gloves and told them to go at it in the living room. There were a few rules that they both had to follow:
~ Gloves only. No biting, kicking or head butting
(cause we all know that it WOULD go there if it wasn't said!)
~ If you want to stop, say so and the other has to stop.
~ No tackling, stay on your feet.
~ No crotch shots (that wasn't a rule I came up with, that came after one of them got hit there...)
They totally got into it and went for it for about 30 min, with a few breaks inbetween. Isaac even got out my oven mitts and was trying to join in... I wish I had gotten a picture, it was SOOO cute!
By the time dinner was ready, they were hot and red in the face and pretty much all the fight had gone out of them!
I think that I will probably have to use that again in the future. They didn't get into petty little fights for the rest of the night!

I think that is absolutely BRILLIANT!! Remember mine? http://slemmer6.blogspot.com/2009/01/huh-not-sure-this-worked.html Yes - it worked. I say you get a punching bag and mount it in the garage and require 15 minutes of punching every night.
WHATEVER it takes! Great idea!!
