Lately, I have felt that I have been a little hard on Miss Taylor. I say "no" too often and too quickly without thinking things through and I feel like I have been riding her a lot about little, insignificant things. Yesterday I realized I spent most of the day doing this and I was feeling bad about it so we made a pact that she was going to be a better listener and I was going to try to not to be so hard on her and not say no too much (right, you can all see where this is going huh??)
So today we had this conversation:
Taylor: Mom, can I have a candy?
Me: No, you have already had 2 and we are getting ready for dinner.
Taylor: But Mom you said that you were not going to be so hard on me and not tell me no so much.
RIGHT! I think next time I will keep my thoughts on how I can be a better mom to myself.
