My Sad Little Girl
So this is the second week of school for #3 and 4. Getting #4 to go to bed is still a challenge but I got her settled in her bed a little after 9pm. Then 15mins later I go to check in on her and she is laying there crying. I ask her why are you crying (the entire time Im thinking one of her sisters did something to her)? She looks at me and starts crying even more as Im ready to lay into one of the big girls for making her so sad. I picked her up and asked again, sweetheart what happened? Her reply (are you ready, you might want a tissue), I won't get to celebrate your birthday with you. What? I will be at school and miss you party. With tears in my eyes I promise her I won't do anything until she gets home. I won't eat the birthday bars (her, #3 and daddy got them at the store today just for me), I won't open presents and we will celebrate with dinner out. I also reminded her that we could do something in the morning before she went to school. How can you not love a child that wants to celebrate you more that you do. After a frustrating night of the kids not listing and pushing all my buttons my beautiful #4 softened my heart. He knows just what we need, when we need it. I couldn't be more grateful for this little sole I have been trusted with and hope I server her (and her sisters) well. Thanks #4 for showing me how much you love me because I love you more than you know.
