Big Smiles

Kailyn, my child who is full of joy and spunk, adds such drama to life. Today she called me to come in the house because she needed me. I opened the door and found that she had pulled a whole basketful of stuff onto the floor. The first thing she said was "Mommy, it's okay." As if she needed to reassure me that it wasn't a catastrophe, she was just looking for something. She's right, I need to repeat that to myself over and over the next time a glass is broken, or my latte gets spilled, or all the puzzled are dumped on a heap. (These things have actually occurred at my house in the past week or so.) It's not a big deal, just accidents, just kids being kids. Relax, Angie, and enjoy your kids.
