This was a rough morning. I made the common mistake of putting too much on my 'to-do' list and not allowing enough flexibility for the kids' antics. The little guy woke up in a fairly demanding mood so we were on the fast track to disaster anyway. The low point was probably when he dumped out a huge trash sack full of dirty clothes (including wet towels) that we'd moved with us so they were really gross. After being warned to just leave it the heck alone, he coaxed his sister into crawling into it with him (it was a huge contractor-type bag). So not only did I have to discipline him for not listening (for the umpteenth time), I had to really come down hard on both of them about the safety issue. And yes, I quickly removed the grody bag while they were in time out! And then he turns around and totally redeems himself with dressing up with his sister and reading her a story:
Nothing interesting about the shot though!
It's just real life!
ReplyDeleteNow how could you be mad at that mommy! :) What a tender moment!
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet! Sweetness is in the contract - the cute kid contract states that they must balance out every act of naughtiness with "just enough" sweetness.
ReplyDeleteThat is really tender - and I love that they are both dressed up. Not a day goes by that my kids aren't dressed up. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute sweet moment though, that you will treasure. Isn't it aggravating how they can be so evil one minute and sweet the next?
ReplyDeleteLove the picture and the story, brought tears to this Mommy's eyes.
