Kimber is my little mischief maker. She always finds a way to get into something that she shouldn’t. This weekend for instance she went into her sisters room and took off her poopy diaper and made a very stinky mess. This morning she pushed a chair over to the counter climbed up and helped herself to a single serving of apple sauce of which she spilled half of on the floor. Very soon after the apple sauce the girls were up playing in Madi’s room. I could hear that someone was in the bathroom so I called up the stairs for whoever was in there to go out of the bathroom since they really like to make messes in there. Madi answers back to me and says, “Kimber has your stuff?” I say, “What stuff?” Madi replies, “You know…” No I don’t know so I ran up the stairs to find what she had. Kimber was in Madi’s room and instantly I saw the bottle of brush on SUPER GLUE!!! Ahhhhhh!!! My immediate reaction is to freak out and banish the girls to their rooms. I’m pretty sure they knew Mom was not happy with what had just happened because they stayed in their rooms quietly for at least 20 minutes. This was only at 9AM this morning so I didn’t feel like it was a very good start to our day.
At 4PM today after the girls had napped I decided that we should take a walk to the park. Before we left I was getting Kimber ready to go and she looks up at me and says, “You give me Mom?” I didn’t understand what she was asking me at first and then it clicked after she said it again. She was asking me if I forgave her. It just made me cry and I picked her up and hugged her so tight. I told her that of course I do and I told her that even though Mom gets mad sometimes she still loves Kimber no matter what. Just the precious little look on her face and her asking me if I forgave her broke my heart. I never want my kids to feel like they aren’t loved or that something is more important than they are because they are the most important blessings in my life. I am so thankful for my girls and the lessons that they teach me on a daily basis. I love them so very much and I hope that I can teach them how to do what is right and to grow up to be the best that they can.
