Don't forget.....

I wanted to post this right away so not to forget it. There are no pictures. Tonight Emmah was placed in a time out, well Emmah is my challenging child we'll say. She always goes straight to "Mommy hold you" phase when she gets in trouble. I explained to her why she was there and I would come get her when it's done. This was the conversation between Paiyton and Emmah that I listened to from the next room:

Emmah: (crying) Paiyton I want my mommy

Paiyton: I know

Emmah: (still crying) Paiyton I want my Mommy to hold me

Paiyton: I know I know you do

Emmah: Paiyton I want my Mommy to hold me

Paiyton: Well Emmah Mommy is disappointed right now

Emmah: Silence........

I chuckled from the kitchen as I was hearing this conversation. I love my chickies and I am so thankful that even in the middle of an upset/time out time that there was still smiles and joy. It has been exhausting lately so I am thankful for these moments. When time was up I held my sweet little monkey and had lots of kisses.

I love them conversations too. They are a riot and do make you laugh after being angry. It lightens the load when they are stinkers for sure. I know all about the mommy hold you. So cute!! Or wanting daddy or bradley when she's in trouble!
