Over heard @ the library.....

An older woman was telling her adult daughter, who was in the children's section w/ her 2 dd's....

"Those children are very well behaved."

She was talking about MINE. ;o)
It was SO encouraging.

A little before that I left 6yo w/ 13.5 yo in the children's section & took my 4yo w/ me to the other side of the library to look for a book. She didn't really want to go w/ me but I told her I wanted her to go w/ me to help me find a book then we'd come back.

It was so funny too because there was a chair @ the end of row & she sat down & she said: Is this the time out chair? lol I thought it was funny because we don't really do 'time-out' & cause it was @ the library. I told her it could be a TO chair & she asked me if I needed a time out. Not smart or anything, just matter of factly. {I told her sometimes I think so. lol} Then she was like: I think it's a time out chair, I'm gonna have a time out & she sat there....for a moment.

She seemed to be moving around me way too much for my comfort level so I gave her a book to look @ while she sat down, a book about sewing purses & bags & I told her to look @ it to see if there were any bags she thought she would like. But then she wanted to show me every page. lol

Then she kinda laid across the chair, stomach down & I told her to please stop that because it was not lady like & a lady always sits nicely. She was wearing a dress. She said, ok momma & sat correctly. (I LOVE when she says that!)

Then we went back to the children's section w/ the boys...& she & S started to pick out some books & that was when I heard the woman.

I am SO encouraged because, honestly, my dd, the youngest, I have not trained properly & have been trying to crack down & step up the training & be on her & make a point of enjoying her too. (& she JUST started this pouty thing where she sticks out her lip! ggrrr! )

It was quite the encouragement I needed.

Thank God! Sincerely. :o)
