Naughty Spot
Today The Chief and I were having a heated discussion in front of Buddha. We usually try to keep our disagreements behind closed doors in an effort to maintain a semblance of harmony, but this time we were just a little too intense to stop and move. Well, good little Buddha took care of that for us. He suddenly piped up with, "You two need a go on a naughty spot!" So, we did. And we finished our discussion there on the naughty spot (in the entry by our front door) in a much calmer and more rational manner. Then Buddha came and got us saying, "It's 10 minutes! Time to get out." (No, I don't put my toddler on the naughty spot for ten minutes for all you out there thinking I'm a terrible mom - he stays for two minutes...I don't know where he got 10.) It's nice to have children to remind us exactly how we should and shouldn't be acting. Thanks Buddha!

I'm telling you, that kid is too smart for you own good! Its nice to have a little reminder sometimes about the appropriate way to act!
What a little sweetheart! That's the best thing about kids, is during a bad moment, even if it's not an arguement, they seem to know when to bring you back to reality. Children really are sent straight from heaven!
