Today is New Year's Eve. We don't usually go crazy with the partying or with the resolutions, it's usually just a quiet night at home.
I prayed with each kiddo before they went to sleep, promising to work on a few parenting issues with each.
I said, "Dear Jesus, this year, help me be a better Mommy to Daniel. Help me be less distracted and more focused on him."
And then I heard a loud whisper: "And no more bootie swats."
I opened my eyes to see Daniel squinting at me (as he often does during prayer!) and he repeated himself: "And No More Bootie Swats."
Trying not to laugh, I said, "That's what you think I should work on?"
He said, "Yes. And no more time outs." And he resumed his bowed head, eyes closed position.
There we go, I guess. Always good to get firsthand input.
