These last few days with you have been really, really hard. Yesterday you fought with your sister more times than I can count. You had three tantrums before lunch. You hit me. And bit me. And called me stupid. You pushed every button I had, and at the end of the day I locked myself in the bathroom and cried. This morning as I fought with you to get clean underwear on for school, what little patience I had disappeared yet again, and I felt defeated.
So while we were out driving today,, you noticed a giant field of dandelions and asked if you could go pick them. My initial reaction was "no... I don't have the energy..." but we stopped anyway.
It's incredible how something simple like stopping to run in a dandelion field can completely recharge us both and overshadow how hard coexisting can be for the two of us sometimes.
Thank you for being patient with me, and for making me smile. I love you.
Mom
