Have you ever had one of those days were everything just seems to go wrong? Well, I was having one of those days a few days ago. Unfortunately, I took my frustrations out on the kids. Amidst my frustrations, KJ asked me how to spell “allowed.” Having no clue of her reason for wanting to know how to spell the word, I slowly yelled out the letters. (She was writing in her room and I was in the babies’ room changing diapers.) So, I as I headed downstairs to start lunch, I noticed the following sign on KJ’s closed door: I asked her why I couldn’t go in her room. She said that she made the sign because I was so angry at her. Boy, kids really know how to put you in check! Realizing that I had taken out my frustrations on the kids, I sat them down and apologized for yelling at them. Afterwards, KJ said, “Mommy, I am sorry for what I did too.” I said, “what did you do?” She said, “I made you angry.” I replied, “Sweetheart, you didn’t do anything to make mommy angry.” I reminded them that yelling is not the way to handle anger or frustration. (I was really reminding myself…not them!) So, after hugs and apologies, I asked her if I could go in her room again. She said yes. I took down the sign, but I have saved it as a reminder…

FYI…she ran out of space trying to spell “allowed”…so, she wrote “upwards.” We are working on that. 🙂 Regardless, I still understood what she was saying and it pierced my heart!

    Awwww, they really know how to pull on the heartstrings, don’t they? My kids have taught me a lesson or two as well on how to keep my attitude in check. Sometimes we do it without even realizing how much it affects them. Love the idea of the sign, though…she’s very creative!
