We've been trying to teach Hannah the concept of forgiveness...when we need to ask for forgiveness and when we need to give it. Well, after a major act of disobedience yesterday morning, I was again, talking to her about it. I thought I had set up the conversation well enough that she would, of course, say she was sorry and ask for my forgiveness. But, of course, she's 3 1/2 so it didn't go exactly as planned. This is how it went...
Me - So, is there something you'd like to tell me Hannah?
Hannah - (rather sheepishly) I forgive you.
Me - (trying not to laugh) No, sweetie, you need to tell me that you're sorry and then I will forgive you. So, what should you say?
Hannah - (in a not-so-sincere way) I'm sorry.
Me - (frustrated) I don't know if I believe you. Are you REALLY sorry?
Hannah - No. Just a little bit sorry.
Me - (putting my head down b/c I started laughing, I turned her around to face Brian who was sitting there) Talk to your Daddy.
Oh boy, are we in for it!!!! :O)
Could it be???? Could Hannah's hair actually be turning curly???
She's so proud of herself and so are we!
