A few days ago,i blogged about having interesting conversations with Caleb. A few days later, he started saying this to his brother whenever he found the latter irritating:
'Didi(little bro),stop doing that or I will smack you!'
That sounded familiar.Whenever Caleb bullies his brother, which is ever so often now, such as pushing him to the floor, hitting him with toys, i will send him an ultimatum:
'Caleb, do it one more time and i am going to spank you'
And sometimes i did spank him on the buttocks with my hands, and it seems that he is using the same ultimatum on his brother. Gosh. So is it i cannot spank him anymore? ******************************************************************

@Nancy: ya and very good imitators.
He is a sweetie, hey nothing wrong with a little spanking, and I'm sure you've told Caleb, that spanking can only be done by mommy's hand, because you can't spank in anger, you spank in love. He's sensitive, eventually he'll understand that lOL...love the photo ;)

i really like the image. I was spanked as a kid, and when i fought with my brothers. I really have no advise to give but all i can say is that you seem to be a really nice parent. Keep up the good work.

I grew up in an age when bottoms were made for spanking. <grin> It didn't do me any harm and as Lorraine wrote, not in anger, but in love.
I failed to say I loved seeing all the RED in the stands that day and your family did its part. Caleb is a doll!

Handsome fella! Guess kids like to imitate us......don't worry. I really love this Red & White series....the nostalgia. I guess I'll miss this when we move. Yes, when we relocate, it is for good. For many reasons, especially for the kids.
I'll still be in touch...after we move in November. Online support is nice when you meet nice people like yourself - genuine & sincere. Will still be on the same parenting journey as you. The thing is a lot of independence is required on my part when I am there. Need to get on top of things and manage the issues while husband works.
Lots of prayer to soothe my fears.....
But you Babe, are doing very well. I am all over the place. But we'll continue to pray for and support each other! God bless you dear!

Its ok - I took care of two little girls... one age 4 the other was 11 months old. Well of course the younger one wanted to always be involved in what the older one was doing and the older one would ALWAYS pitch-a-fit. (the older one doing much the same as yours copying what ever i would say i would do & say it to the younger one) so they fought and fought the older one usuaully winning and bullieing. One day as they were a bit older now the younger one nearly 3 the older one 6. The older BOSSY one tries to take a toy from the younger one & the younger one *must have decided i'm thru taking crap from you* and pulled the older ones hair - shoved her - and well gave her a good much needed beating up. Needless to say it finally stopped the older one from being so bossy to the younger one.
Don't worry poor Caleb does not know what is in store for him as he keeps doing this to his brother. One day his brother will be big enough & he'll let him have it.
Great DOF on your photo my dear.
