The side effect from being grounded was that he worked outside with PE on the sprinkler and got to play in the sprinkler to test if it worked. He wasn't allowed to play with anyone, or watch TV, so he resorted to playing in his room with his LeapPad. Matter of fact, he ran out the batteries and had to have them replaced.

Two small things that weren't a part of his grounding that really cheered him up were that he got a kids meal from Sonic for dinner (yes, I let him have the toy), and he got to meet and pet the neighbor's doggies in our front yard. One of them is a 4-5 month old puppy (clumiest puppy I ever did see, but CUTE!), and the other was an adult beagle.
