Yesterday, we were having dinner and Nora slammed her mug down on the table. Both Jules and I told her off for doing that and showed her the dent she made on the table. I told her that if she broke her mugs, I won’t be getting her any new ones.
She looked up at both of us and said
“Sorry mama. Sorry Daddy. I never do it again.”
I was going to continue scolding her and send her to the naughty step to think about what she did when Jules went “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww” with open arms and gave her a hug!
Yes, I am impressed with her ability to make sentences… but I wanted her to know that she can’t get away with just saying sorry all the time as she has to mean it.
But I guess I could let her off just this once.
She then said she was finished with dinner and I told her to go and brush her teeth with daddy.
She went to the bathroom and slammed the door before Jules could go in… and she I told Jules that she said she’d never do that (slam the bathroom door) again too.
Words…
