Yesterday, I learned that I had better practice what I preach. It was about 9:30 am and I walked to the candy jar and popped a hersey kiss in my mouth. Two seconds later, Ryan asked if he could have an Oreo.
Here is how that conversation went:
Ry: Mom, can I have an Oreo
Me: No
Ry: Why?
Me ( still chewing my chocolate): Because it is too early for a treat.
Ry: What is in your mouth?
Me: Swallowing fast... Nothing
Oh, man. I almost got caught doing exactly what I told him not to.
I love that being a mother teaches me how to become a little better each day. A little more patient. A little kinder. More selfless. How to not to eat chocolate in the morning if don't want my kid to.
It is the greatest job in the world. I get paid in smiles and hugs and love that are worth more that gold.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
