227

I debated whether to add this moment. Yesterday we went to church like we normally do on Sunday mornings. Did the usual rountine, get our seated, etc. As I am holding Riley I look up at the display box which showed the numbers 227. I looked at David, gave him the card to say he was the owner of 227, Ashton. Ashton bit a girl at sunday school, left bite marks, the little girl had to get a bandaid. Ashton was in trouble (as he puts it). He said he was sorry. David spoke with Ashton, had a few words and bottom tap. David dismissed him back to sunday school. Then Ashton did it again to a boy. This was it, no more chances.
Ashton, had a rough day. He loves movies and mostly loves carrying the case of a movie around the house everywhere he goes. So punishment was no movies and he could not carry any sort of case of a movie around the house. He was devastated. (obviously, spanking did not speak loud enough). He kept repeating all day. What happened and he called the girl Sarah, he bit her, she had to get bandaid, etc. I hope this was a learning lesson we will not have to revisit. Today went well at the Y, not time outs or lashing out of angry. Good Job, Ashton.
The worst part of it, was we were unable to say something to the parents, I hope they forgive us and our son.
