I know every parent has thought this thought... you just want to put your child up for sale and have someone else take them. I was sick for a week and a half, now A is sick. She turns into a serious 4 year old when she's sick, unlike her nice great mature self on other days. It just drives me crazy, which really I should think of it as a blessing, having such a wonderful daughter. So for like three days I have been dealing with a daughter who is whining and crabby, complaining and doesn't like anything but mommy. It has just been a few trying days... so tonight as I put A to bed, I prayed for forgiveness in my prayer... "Lord forgive me for being impatient with A and being quick to be angry. Forgive me for the tone I have been using with her..." and as I was praying this, my sweet daughter puts her hand on my shoulder. I just thought... well there is this Korean saying, "you give the sickness and you give the medicine". It means well you make the problem then you give the solution... A drove me crazy then her hand on my shoulder made it a little better, like medicine does.
So my daughter is not up for sale... if you asked me yesterday, I would have gladly said yes...
My friends tell me often and today CI told me... "because A is so mature, sometimes you forget she's four and then when she does act like a four year old you have to remind yourself that's she's four." So true.
24 more sleeps and we'll be in Chicago.
