overheard/saw this interaction between lj and seth this afternoon...
background info = lilly jo doing something she wasn't supposed to (i think she hit seth or something)
seth: "lilly jo no mam. we don't do that.
lilly jo repeats the offense
seth more emphatically: "lilly jo NO! now tell dada you're sorry."
lilly jo's lip begins to quiver and eyes well up with tears
seth: "oh no, i hate it when her bottom lip does that. lilly jo come here.
lilly jo sits on seth's lap crying.
seth: "it's ok, i'm sorry."
i'm thinking, "wait, what just happened here?"
awww, the compassionate father vs the 15 mo old who's learning obedience.
we're learning this parenting thing as we go. it was a precious moment i thought. disciplining a child is no fun.

This is so sweet! Learning to discipline is so hard!
