Some of my best thoughts never get blogged b/c they are in IM conversations or in comments. Recently a friend encouraged me to blog these thoughts b/c others may really find them helpful or be blessed by them.
So here is the first one... a snippet of a recent IM conversation about stepping up the discipline around our house lately following a vacation for our Spring Break. (More about that in a later post!)
Having Russ with us for an entire week was really good for all of us, but especiallly [child wishes to be nameless so I will just call said child SOMEONE] and we are ALL cracking down on watching our mouths and tones and are improving a little.
Even [SOMEONE] has stopped [him/her]self and chosen different words!
We have been making them place a finger on their lips for 5 minutes each time they speak unkindly, rudely or inappropriately... like a time-out for the mouth!
IT IS WORKING!!!!!
It makes us think BEFORE speaking!
Also, I have been Tomato Staking very closely lately and that has been helpful too!
