A Lesson Learned

This morning was well, a rough morning... everyday we have our ups and our downs , our happy and our sad moments, our good and our bad... and always the good out weighs the bad!
This morning we had to change your outfit quite a few times.. first you peeded on your shirt because you thought you could get on the potty all by your self and I got mad at you because you didn't wait for my help and mostly I was mad because I had to change your outfit. After a few minutes, I realized I shouldn't of yelled at you, you are a 2 1/2 year old learning and trying to do things on your own and I need to be patient with you and let you try ( you actually did a pretty good job). Lessoned learned, I will try and be more patient with you and realize that you didn't want to make a mess or more work for me... you were just trying to do it yourself!
Then your shirt got all wet again because you pushed the water straight from the fridge all over your face and shirt...... so on to shirt 3 before 11 am. I think you understood that I wasn't happy about that but you laughed anyways because you thought it was hilarious and fun and silly. Lesson learned, I need to relax a bit more and laugh a lot more too!
And shirt 4 was because well, because you are a boy... a boy who enjoys playing in the dirt, being messy and dirty. Lesson learned, I will always have laundry to do!

I love how everyday I learn from you. I try so hard to teach you new things and show you how to do things the " right" way..... and with no effort at all you teach me and show me the "right" way too. Thanks for being patient with me and showing me how to be a good mother... I hope we continue to teach each other life's lessons!
