Jesus and the Mean Dog

So, this church thing seems to be working. W has had a problem lately with opening the front door and going outside without a parent. He did it again today, and he went to time out for a long time (in a 2-year old's world, that is).

At the end, Steph and I were explaining why he had to go to time out--that it could be dangerous in the front yard without a parent. Steph said, "If there was a mean dog outside and he tried to jump on you, who would help you if mom or dad was not there?"

W: "Jesus."

You're right, little boy. Jesus will help you. But, it's still a better idea to have mom or dad with you so you don't have to ask for a miracle.

He got to come out of time out after that. He's a good kid; it just takes a couple of times for things to sink in.
