...has "knocked him down three times".
That's no use -- ya can't just knock 'em down, ya gotta make sure they STAY down! Honestly, WTF is the use of "knocking him down"? He's gotta know he can still get a lot WORSE than just being "knocked down".
As for the second post, BOx needs to stop being such a wimp about his hands. Or get a good pair of thick leather working gloves.
Frivolities aside, it's good to see that contrary to the impression I got from your post, BOx can still handle the kid -- if only so he can drag him into his room and shut him in there. (For a good LONG while, with breaks only to go to the bathroom under Daddy's direct supervision.)
