2010/3/16 A sweet break after days of confronting

Tyler's old problem - dishonest - relapsed. He did not want to do any homework last last week. Thus he asked me to test his responsibility by NOT checking his homework. I trusted him and thus he succeeded. He misbehaviour was unveiled last Tuesday and I had a short meeting with his class teacher. My heart was broken since that day.

Tyler kept hurting Tin and I again and again since Tuesday. I thundered nearly every two days. He cried nearly every day. I told myself to solve the problem but I still could not figure how to solve. Today, Tyler again did not complete his homework before dinner. Luckily, I was quite happy after having tea with my mom :) I seized fire. I let him enjoy his reading time and get back to his punishment after that. I sit quietly in his room and did some marking. I found no red ball pen so I used a red colour pencil. I drew a flower on my student's homework to draw her attention on the part that she forgot to do correction. Tyler looked at me and was sidetracked. At first, I thought that he was curious about what I was drawing. I did not stop him nor remind him at all since I focused on my marking then. He left the room and came back with something. If I were not focusing on my marking, wonderful thing would not have happened. I must have scolded Tyler for not focusing on his own work.

Tyler handed something to me. It was the Fu Wa pen. With a smile, he said that he had a red ball pen. Then he went back to his work without looking at me. I was very sweet all of a sudden!!! My broken heart healed. I told him how observant and caring and sweet he was to me. I was touched. I thanked him again and again and the night was wonderful.






It is so difficult to write in colour pencil. Now, I can write with the lovely pen. It is much better.

I asked Tyler to draw this pen on his diary to memorize this wonderful night. I don't know how long this sweet feeling can last and how much rage this sweetness can suppress. But, after blogging it, I can recall this feeling easier. Wonderful things should be remembered. Tyler, I love you :)
