Choices

Says Russ, as we are driving home listening to the Tangled soundtrack, "I not like Mother Gawful [Mother Gothel].  She makes bad choices."


Yesterday he threw a pillow at daddy, daddy threw one back, and then daddy put himself in time-out.  Says Mark, "I'm sorry for throwing a pillow at you."

Says Russ, "It's o.k. Daddy. It's hard to make good choices when you're really tired."  Personally I think that is quite insightful!

That is so cute. I think it is hilarious that Mark put himself in timeout. There's nothing like teaching your kids that you make mistakes too.

This morning I was joking around with Paul and I said...you get over hear right now and give me a hug.

Then Katie turned and looked at me so serious and said Mom that is NOT how we ask.

Makes you proud that something you are teaching is sticking in that head of theirs.

This blog reminded me of when Grandpa Mark was in New Orleans for the week helping Shelley when she was so sick with Lyme's disease and one of Shea's favorite activities with Grandpa Mark was to put him in time out!

FUN!

I THOUGHT THE TIRED COMMENT FROM RUSS WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL!!!!

Love,
Mom
