Today was one of those days where I felt like all I had done was practice 'Proverbs 13:24'. I have to be honest, Reese was awful. Every second of the day I was saying "don't do this & don't do that" .....it was exhausting. Shaylon & I finally got the wild beast, that we refer to as "Reese", laid down for bed. Since I was feeling guilty & kinda sad for having such a bad day with her, I thought I'd go lay down, snuggle & talk with her.
This was our conversation:
Me: "Reese, do you think you were good or bad today?"
Reese: *without hesitating* "I was baaaaad."
Me: "Do you think that makes me happy or sad?"
Reese: "It probably kinda makes you sad."
Me: "Yup. It makes momma very sad. I don't like to get on to you all the time, it makes me have a bad day."
Reese: "You could not make me go to my room and not spank me.... We could go outside and play with the spoons and a bucket wif (with) the dirt and then you wouldn't have a bad day... When daddy says 'you go to your room' and den (then) he shuts my door, he can't hear me yell for a cuppy! So I kick my feet like this *she then demonstrated the temper tantrum she so bravely threw once she was 'safely' behind closed doors* THAT....makes ME have a bad day! Tomorrow we can have a tea party. They're my favorite! And I won't be bad, you'll like me a lot tomorrow.....it'll be great!"
*Proverbs 29:17*
