Ally and Nate went with Mary Evyn today to watch Horton hears a Who. They both enjoyed the movie, but then again, who wouldn't with popcorn, raisinets, and orange Fanta in hand. Ally said she enjoyed it, but I thought it was just ok. The characters were not as endearing to me as in other animated films. I was really irritated with the scene at the dentist's office. It served no purpose to the storyline and as if kids weren't apprehensive about going to the dentist as it is. Afterwards, Ally told me she didn't want to go to that dentist, she likes her dentist that only "brush and floss" her teeth.
Today was one of those days that Ally really tested me. After I put Ally in time out for 10 minutes, she gave me a hug and said "I'm sorry I was crying and didn't listen to you". I called Lawrence after almost losing it and told him I almost got to the point where I wanted to spank your daughter. He told me "She's just 3, give her some credit that she apologized to you on her own. It took you 29 years to get to that point".
All I have to say is I prayed alot today for the Lord to give me patience with Ally throughout the day. Tomorrow will be a brand new day with my sweet babies...most of the time.

That IS a big deal that she apologized on her own - I have to prompt Evyn. You're right...prayer is key on a day like that! We had fun despite the tears!
I'm like woman. I had to be with you over 10 years before you would apologize to me without asking! It was like pulling teeth. And ally at the tender age of 3 will come out and say sorry. women, give the baby some credit.
and the spanking part. unless you were spanked as a kid and it worked on you there is no reason for you to resort to it. Unless you experience the human hand of God on you there is no way you can think spanking is Okay. I got beat down many times. And my point is it didn't stop me from doing what I really wanted to do.
Only until I got older did I stop because I didn't want to hurt my parents feelings. And this was before I found the Lord. Now with the Lord I don't do stuff because of Jesus and not so much that Jess will punch me in the gut. It just pains me that jess would want to spank the kids when her parents would yell at her then buy her a dollhouse. what the!
