Exhausted

I don't know exactly what it was that put him over the top yesterday (maybe the intense session of playing playhouse disney games), but Benny was exhausted by five o'clock. He was having a hard day in general, he had gone to the study three or four times for time-outs. The last time he was sent there I went in ten minutes later to find him sacked out on the bed in the study. Poor tired cute little guy! Probably the best thing that happened yesterday was Family Home Evening. I took Elder Holland's talk from three conferences ago, about the power of words, and we talked about talking respectfully to one another. I thought they wouldn't pay very good attention because it was a talk for adults and I didn't have a whole lot of other things prepared as far as visual aids and such, but they listened closely and I have already noticed a change. Hooray!

Tell me about FHE. That was out teaching for our times lesson last week. I wanted to use it For FHE, but I didn't want to be preachy. We had a visitor last week. She said her husband emptied a tube of toothpaste onto some foil and told the kids they could go to Disneyland if they got all the toothpaste back in. She said they tried for over an hour. The point was after you've said something hurtful, even if you you apologize you can never take those things back.
