Thank you Ella

One day last week Elizabeth hit Ella.  I didn't like it and told her she better not do it again or she was grounded from her ipod touch.  I know she was tired but it never ok to hit - this is what I have told my girls always.   Well Saturday Elizabeth did it again.  She got grounded.  Then Ella misbehaved.  I don't even remember what she did.  But I guess I was tired and I gave her a spanking.  With a strong voice Ella started to ask me something but stopped.  I asked her to continue.  So she did.  Mom... if its not ok for Elizabeth to hit me, why is ok if you do it?  Gulp... I had already had that same thought.  I told her I was wrong and I was sorry.  And since I couldn't ground myself, I took Elizabeth's grounding away.  I am proud of Ella for standing up for herself.  She has come a long way and I also thank you for reminding me the right way to be.

Love you both.
