Lesson of the day: Choose your words carefully when talking with a two year old!!
Yesterday evening, Curtis, Micah and Elizabeth were "helping" me prepare dinner. Curtis made a sarcastic remark, and I lightly hit him with the spoon I was holding. Little did we know that little eye were on us. A few minutes pasted, and suddenly, Elizabeth walked up to me and hit me. Curtis and I looked at her in shock. She just stood there looking back at us. "Don't hit Mommy," Curtis told her. Smack! "Don't hit Daddy," Curtis and I tell her at the same time. She then looks and me and sweetly asks, "Hit Micah?" "No, Elizabeth. Don't hit."
Maybe that's what we should have started with!
