My little Eli is developing self-discipline in an unique way. As we were at the baseball park this weekend, he was throwing rocks. After two warnings that he did not head, we took a trip the the bathroom. This was the conversation we had:
Me: Did you throw another rock?
Eli: yes
Me: Did Momma say not to throw rocks?
Eli: yes
Me: What did I say would happen if you threw rocks?
Eli: Spank my booty. I do it. Bad boy!
Then he proceeded to paddle his bum twice with his hand and then yell "Ouch!"
If that isn't self-discipline, I don't know what is. I think he may have a thing or two to teach me.
