My 2 1/2 yr old broke Baby Jesus, a donkey and a wise man from our soap stone nativity set. IT is NOT replacable here in the US, it came from Latin America where I am from. I'm really kind of upset, but crying isn't going to fix it.
What is a mother to do???? I was in another room, I can't be on top of him 24 /7. I heard 'hi,yah' a couple of times and I went to go see what he was doing and low and behold he had decapitated Baby Jesus!!! (okay, I can't even write that without laughing to the point of tears)
I changed his pooy diaper and put him in his crib and told him he had to stay there b/c he broke Baby Jesus. Is he going to go to church next Sunday and say I broke Baby Jesus's head? I didn't know what else to do w him. What is the punishment for breaking something that isn't replacable??? I honestly don't know how to get him to understand that breaking things is not acceptable behavior. This is an one going problem.
Well, our nativity scene will be glued back together by me later this afternoon. I think we will have to re-seal it with something b/c moist air breaks down the stone. What will my dh do when he gets home???
We just can't have nice things... it wasnice, but it is no longer...
