Out of Bounds

There are two rooms that are strictly off-limits to Ryan, the toilet and Cyd's bedroom. This morning I came across Cyd herding Ryan out of her room and saying gently, but firmly, "Ryan, you need to leave. Even though you say 'please', it will never change." Poor guy, I could just see him frantically clapping his hands, pleading to be allowed the privilege of staying within the inner sanctum. There are just so many interesting, fragile, tiny, intricate things to destroy and saturate with saliva in there. Sometimes at night after she's asleep he'll disappear and I'll find him sitting quietly in her room playing with some treasure he's discovered.
