Because we're staying in today...

I still think this is a very fitting post - and I want to show that I'm not all yap and no substance. I work every day to teach my children to be polite. My daughter says please and thank you and before she could even say it correctly, she was asking completely strangers "Smooze me peez" when walking in front of them in the store.

This morning has been quite eventful in The Thompson House!! Bryanna is so fickle; one day she is asking to let Izaiah play in her room with her and the next she is crying that he's in her room messing with her stuff. This morning, it was the later.

As I was busy getting breakfast for everyone, Bryanna started whining that he was in her room again. Not wanting to stop what I was doing, I said "Then get him out and close the door." Whoops.

Bryanna in all her skin and bones is actually strong enough to pick up my fatty Izaiah and carry him out of the room. So she did. Unfortunately Izaiah wasn't going without a fight and while he fought to get back in, Bryanna fought to keep him out by closing the door. Too bad Izaiah's fingers were snugly wrapped around the door frame as this was occurring.

My little man's fingers are swollen like a couple of pickles and there's some blood and bruising. I tried my hardest not to yell at Bryanna (as she had only done what Mommy told her to do). After making sure Izaiah was ok and the tears were dry, Bryanna came over to check out the damage. I could see her heart break as she looked Izaiah's hand. She said "BooBoo, big stister is so sorry!" and gave him a kiss on his forehead and hugged him gently.

THAT'S my big girl!! I didn't ask her to apologize or to give him loves. She just decided to take responsibility all on her own and apologize to her baby brother.

*sigh* I hope this lasts forever!
