Interesting development

The whole family has taken turns with strep the last couple of weeks. It's been unpleasant. The interesting thing, for which I am SO GRATEFUL is when Sara has chosen to be MEAN to me, disobedient, defiant, etc, Scott has CHOSEN to be exactly the opposite. He has chosen to try to help Sara calm herself down. He has chosen to speak in a calm, quiet voice. He has chosen to tell me that he doesn't hate Sara and to remind me that she will calm down eventually. He has chosen to do kind and gentlemanly things (such as opening doors for me, especially as I carry a screaming, kicking Sara through the door). He's been WONDERFUL whenever she's been awful. What a blessing! :-)
