the other day i was trying to talk to molly about some unkind words she had spoken to her sister.....after much drama and about 10 minutes of "time out", i was able to get through to her that in our house, we speak love.
well, later that day i was trying to get supper ready and adie kept trying to stand on my foot....and she stood in a way that really pulled the skin, you know - hurts pretty good. so i unkindly and with much frustration told her to get off and picked her up and put her back down on the floor....and not in a real gentle way.
well, of course, molly was right there and she politely and matter-of-factly reminded me, "mommy, we speak love in this house, remember? and that didn't sound very loving to me." sheesh. she really did listen. i love her so much, and i'm glad she keeps me on my toes. she's gonna be a neat girl.
