A Day of Growth

Growing my resolve that I will not give into the bad behavior of my toddler who keep openly defying me.
Growing patience as I repeatedly put K back in the corner as he refused to "do his time."
Growing a deeper gratitude for the time and effort that my mom put into my "child training" helping me to be one of those children that parents comment on their good behavior (at least that is how I remember it...).
Growing my repertoire of skills which to use in my child training.
Growing a greater appreciation of my husband's ability to handle the children's misbehavior in a manner that gets results without the backtalk. There is something about Daddy that just makes them straighten up.
