As usual Emily was grumpy this afternoon when we got home from church. She was hungry and although I plugged her full of peanut butter crackers on the ride home, she was apparently dying of starvation and was therefore going to whimper, whine, scream, and throw fits throughout the entire house.
Although I would like to think my solution of a timeout was effective, it was actually Richard's solution that was the most powerful at pacifying the Drama Queen...
He grabbed her big, plastic diamond heart ring off of the ottoman and in one quick motion took her hand and placed the ring on her finger...
Instantly the ring brought joy to her life, a sparkle to her eye, and a giggle that filled the room.
