Yesterday was a bad day for the little guy. Lots of discipline because of a lack of sharing and obeying. This conversation took place after his 300th time out. We had tried everything else, so I figured I'd give religion a chance.
Me - "Joshua, Jesus says we are supposed to obey our mommies and daddies."
Joshua - "He didn't tell me."
Me - "He says it in the bible. That's how he talks to us."
Joshua - "He didn't say that. I tell you he didn't."
Me - "Joshua, he did. And he also said he would help us obey our parents."
Joshua - "I don't want him to help me."
So, go ahead and keep us in your prayers. We do want his help (and we need it ... badly).

He is so funny. Today Rebecca was trying to get him to tell me he was sorry for throwing a game on the floor. He didn't want to. I tried to coax him a little bit and he told me "I'm just very sad."
I said, "It's no fun to be sad. If you learn to say you're sorry, you'll be happy."
Joshua said, "I don't want to be happy and I don't want to say sorry. I'm just very sad to talk to you."
I said, "Well, you know that Mommy probably isn't going to let me give you any jelly beans if you won't say you're sorry."
And Joshua said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Grandma Shari."
