Ya Have to Love Her
This morning I was in a rush to get my daughter to daycare. Her school curriculum starts at nine and we were running late as I had to make her breakfast, change her, and brush her teeth and hair.
She would not be rushed. At almost three, she is taking more of an active role in explaining her emotions. Her comment to me was funny, albeit only to me. She was serious when she uttered, “Daddy, you make me mad.” I tried not to smile. I simply replied, “I told you to do something and you did not listen, should I be mad at you?”
I certainly was not mad at her but was very curious to hear her rebuttal.
“No daddy, you happy. You make me mad.” Then she did something unexpected. She turned away from me and refused to look in my direction! She had never done that before.
It took me almost a full minute to suppress my laughter whilst watching her silhouette. She adamantly refused to look at me!
After the minute passed I spoke to her and asked her if she was ready to get change and go to school. She affirmed and everything was fine after that.
My little girl cracks me up. Almost everyday something new spews from her mouth and I have to take a step back and listen.
Children at that age are a sponge and I hope I can instill positive attributes to her that will create a loving and warm person. I believe she is well on her way.
