Michael hit me for the first time today. Like SMACKED me. He was not sharing a toy with his friend Jonah very well, mind you it was Jonah's toy. So I explained to him what was going on and he started to fuss and then he did it...
SQUARE on the cheek. Not a tap, not a little shove. A flat out SMACK. First time EVER.
He got put in time out SO fast. He was crying the whole way there and the whole time he was in the corner. He must have thought we were in a new place and so time out didn't exist.
I wasn't sure whether or not to spank him because frankly, it was a SERIOUS offense warranting a spanking. But I usually opt for time out first and that works. Spanking is something I prefer to use as a last resort. I know people have very strong views on this, but this works for us. At least for now.
However, Michael better watch it if he hits me like that again. I can GUARANTEE a spanking for next time.
UGH.
Other than that, we had a great day.
