Blessed are the Peacemakers


C-bao overheard a little tiff between C-Pop and C-Mum this afternoon.

Later, while C-Pop was in another room, she ran over with the following message:

"Daddy, you should say sorry to Mommy, and then she'll forgive you, and then that will be the end of the fight!"

"Um...ok, C-bao. But Daddy has to have something to be sorry for, right?"

"Well you accidentally changed your schedule and now Mommy has to go to Taiwan and she was like 'What the heck?' and so you should say sorry!" That wasn't really it, but it was too cute to really argue with.

Before C-Pop knew it, she had run off to the kitchen.

"Mommy, you should forgive Daddy, because Jesus forgives!" she exclaimed to C-Mum.

"You little peacemaker, you!" smiled C-Mum.

C-bao was back in no time, tugging on C-Pop's hand. "Come on Daddy, Mommy said she'll forgive you! Come on, just say sorry! Please, Dad, just say it! But you have to mean it."

Before the adults really knew what happened, C-Pop was in the kitchen apologizing to C-Mum.

Another day in C-bao's world as the peacemaker of the house!

MLK

On Martin Luther King day, C-bao's school had a nice celebration including a Peace Parade around the block. C-Pop managed to make it out for the march.

Turn this way, Daddy
C-bao's custom sign reminds people that Dr. King supported the use of words in expressing frustration or disagreement. Quite apropos for C-bao to have this message reinforced, thought C-Pop approvingly when he saw it...it's a lesson our little one is still internalizing.

Use words! No pushing!
