out of all our kids, karleigh by far & going away seems to be the most remorseful of any of them when she disobeys - she's ALWAYS without fail, the one that comes back to me (either right after 'the situation' has happened, or before she goes to bed & apologizes for whatever it was that she did that day, says she'll try really hard not to let it happen again & then always asks for my forgiveness) - tonight we were in the van & i was on the phone & chaos was running wild in the back seat - they all received a stern talking to when the conversation ended & they also got their new sunglasses taken away from them on the ride home (& i made sure to turn as many times as i could to let that good 'ole sun do some shinin' in too!) - we got home & she went on & on to me about how sorry she was & how she didn't act the way god would've wanted her to, etc. - she explained that "when mommy's on the phone, we're all to be quiet for you" - i just think it's sweet that she's already thinking of other peoples feelings & it's not just to get out of trouble (we get lots of apologies that way by all of them!), but it's sincere - thank you karleigh, that means a lot!!
