Yesterday, Little Man made a bad choice. He chose to be a typical 7 yr old and tattle on his older brother. His brother was in trouble for disobeying and was sent to take a nap. However, Little Man informed me that Catfish was not taking a nap. Instead, he was in his room playing. Catfish is asleep.
Me: Did you tattle on Catfish to get him in trouble?
LM: No.
Me: Are you telling me the truth?
LM: No.
Me: Did you tattle on Catfish to get him in trouble?
LM: Yes.
Me: You need to go upstairs (to my bedroom) and wait to be disciplined for choosing to be dishonest with me.\
**Sadly, we both head upstairs**
LM: Do you forgive me?
Me: Yes. But there are natural consequences to the choice of lying.
LM: Does God still love me.
Me: Yes
**I make him lay down and take a nap, as well**
After a 2 hour nap, he comes downstairs.
Me: Did you sleep?
LM: yes….uhm…mommy….your bed is SO soft. Do you think, someday, I could get a bed that soft too? I like your bed.
Me: Yes, son….someday.
