Running in a Rectangle

A couple days ago Claire got into a little bit of trouble. She is on this kick about totally ignoring us when we ask her to do something. For example, Tim had asked her to come inside like 6 times to get ready for bed. When she didn't obey (he was very patient and nice the first 5 times) he went out and got her and put her in time out. He then asked her why she was in time out and she didn't respond so he told her why:

Tim: "Claire, you are in time out because you didn't come inside when I asked you to. You just kept running in circles."

Claire's response: "No daddy, I was running in a rectangle!"

Tim and I both just busted up laughing! She then started to crack up and we just had a good family laugh. Thanks Claire for putting a smile on our faces!

These precious moments are truly the best! So hard to discipline when the humor and honesty comes out. These moments definitely make the bad ones fade from our memory.
