There is nothing like flowers on your doorstep to make you happy. Nate sent me flowers the day he left to thank me for letting him go! He has been gone for a few days in Florida and I have had an easy, wonderful time with the kids. Today we went to church, took naps, had the 4 neighbors kids over to play, walked to the grocery store, and had crab for dinner (Nate is allergic), and read Polar Express (skipped the page with the wolves - scary).
I had an interesting situation on Friday that some of you that are close to me will understand why this was so stinkin' cool! Nate's mom took us out for burgers after preschool and we had to have a little "discipline episode" in the bathroom at the restaurant. One of my kids was being ungrateful for the grilled cheese and letting everyone around us know she wanted a hot dog. I took her immediately to the only bathroom (men's) available and locked the door. While we had our "Change-Your-Heart 101", little did I know, there was a lady in the women's bathroom listening to us in through the walls. I walked out with a happy little child whose heart had been transformed in the locked men's bathroom (haha) and this STRANGER WOMAN walked out. She HIGH FIVED me and TOLD ME THAT I WAS DOING A GREAT JOB! She heard what I said in the bathroom with my child and said she was praying for me and proud of me! WHAT ON EARTH?!?!?!
On another note, Sammy definitely has an extra baby tooth and we are going to see a specialist this week.
So you are going to have to share with me your discipline technique! A & L are starting the terrible 2's early!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Andrea! Not only do our kids benefit from our discipline, but God is glorified (and in some cases, we are too)!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, great momma!
