Snapshots of Sarah in a 10 minute span....

Context: Sarah throws her fork on the floor (she's experimenting right now with throwing things)
Me: Sarah, I told you what would happen if you threw anything on the floor again. Now you get a spanking. (Be assured that all manner of warning, coaching, and teaching has preceded this action so I give her a swat.) No throwing anything off the table sweety, I love you, but you cannot throw food or forks or anything off the table... (yada yada yada you know the conversation) do you understand?
Sarah: Understand (not looking at me)
Me: (continuing in a calm, serious voice) Sarah, look at me, look at my eyes, no throwing things, do you understand?
Sarah: (now looking at me) Understand (now pointing to my eyes) Mommy's eyes, so beautiful!

Ahhhhhh! How completely disarming. She pulls this kind of thing in the midst of "discipline" on a pretty regular basis...

10 minutes later....

Sarah: (With a napkin wrapped around her body which she does to mimic Jesus being born since he was wrapped in cloths - since we got her her new Bible, she's obsessed with Jesus as a baby) "Born Son of God"
Me: Who was born Son of God?
Sarah: Jesus was born Son of God!
