I love Sundays! Not only because we get to go to church and worship The Lord, but also because we usually have breakfast for dinner on Sundays! Yum! I’m a breakfast person! Tonight it was pancakes! Love it!
I’ve been having fun hopping around all the blogs listed at 5 Minutes for Mom‘s blog party, meeting new bloggers and finding lots of blogs I never would have found otherwise and am encouraged by how many Christian blogging Moms I’ve met or seen out there!
I have one note for today, which is actually about something that happened with Cutie Pie yesterday. For a while now we’ve been using Time Outs for punishment with him. Remember he’s only just over 3. He loves to be around others, so for him Time Outs are major. Just threatening one makes him behave. One thing he has been going into Time Out for is hitting his brother. When helping put his toys away last night I ‘bopped’ him gently on the head with a stuffed animal and made a cute noise. He immediately turned around and told me to ‘go to Time Out for hitting me!’ I was astonished! I immediately realized how seriously he was taking his punishment and the crime, even though he would repeatedly hit his brother after being in Time Out.
I obeyed and went, he came in and talked with me: “Mommy, why are you in Time Out?” “For hitting you, Cutie Pie.” “And Mommy, will you hit again?” “No. I’m sorry.” “I love you Mommy, you can get out of Time Out now.” It was so hard not to laugh, but so rewarding, in a funny way, to know that he understands what Time Out is!

Don’t forget to visit 5 Minutes for Mom and join the party if you haven’t already!
This was so funny I almost wet my pants.
That is too cute- Time out is making an impact on him.
and yummy breakfast for dinner – I am a breakfast person too.
The timeouts story made me smile…a lot. Plus, I like the idea of breakfast for dinner on a regular basis. Yum

Hi! I found you from the UBP & I wanted to say that I was really encouraged by the number of Christian bloggers too! In fact, I think all but one that I've visited [so far] have been Christian women.
Your timeout story is hilarious! My oldest is just over three & she was ordering her sister around today to go get her blanket for her. And, then to my astonishment, my 2 yr old actually obeyed her! [if only she would listen to me like that!]
