Go To Sleep Already!!!!

Do you just wish there was a manual for each of your children? Tonight was one of those nights.

Thomas lied to us about eating all of his vegetables. So, we followed through with spanking him. Actually, Daddy spanked and I supported. I never thought I would hate doing that. Anyway, it was so hard to watch. I puddled up and cried while it happened. After it was over, Kevin hugged and loved on Thomas. Thomas was very remorseful and prayed about it to God tonight. He was such a sensitive and tender heart.

Later....

It's 11:00 and Alana is STILL awake!! I believe our days of naps are over. This is the second time this week that she has had a nap and partied all night. Enough already. When Daddy told Alana to close her eyes, she told him that she wouldn't be able to see then. Duh, Daddy!!

Can't say I'm looking forward to Monday. Especially when she will want to take a nap. Sorry, not going to happen.

I think our family is ready for routine. I always look forward to long breaks with no schedule, but we always realize we like structure and routine at the end of the day.

I am with you on that one! I love routine and structure. Guess that comes with being quite AR. :-)

He still has a tender heart. I wasn't THAT hard on him. I hated doing it too. Now I know why my Dad always said it was harder on him than it was going to be on me. As a kid I always thought he was just saying it but now I know the truth.
