Tough Day!

Poor Conner had a really tough day. He has been to school everyday this week and we are back to work. I know the poor little guy is so tired. Regardless, he woke up this Saturday morning with a smile on his face and told me that the sun was up and it was time to wake up and he wanted to eat. So, I staggered out of bed and fed him and then laid on the couch. A few brief moments go by and little miss priss was up. That is when the day really started. From the moment she showed her sweet little face in the living room, Conner was out to get her all day. Every toy she had, he wanted. He didn't want her in his room, so he slammed the door in her face. He took things from her and ran. Belyn was screaming. I really had to spank today. We really haven't had to spank much lately, but today Conner was in some kind of funky mood.

This evening I had to spank him (after having had several during the day) and he just cried and told me, "Mommy you broke my heart!" It took me by surprise. He repeated it several times to me. I told him that he broke my heart too when he chose to be ugly to me and Belyn. Eventually he stopped crying and went to the table to eat. He was in a better mood and he said to me, "Mommy! My heart is fixed! It's not broke anymore!" I told him that was great. Then he said, "Mommy, Jesus lives in my heart. He eats with me." I said that was wonderful and what else does Jesus do with him. He told me, "Jesus plays with me."

Well, then MY heart melted!
