Last night I was just totally frazzled from a rough day with Josiah-- he's really been super crabby and yesterday about took me over the edge. So then Nick comes into this "hostile" environment unknowingly after work. Well, long story short, we're starting to get into an argument. (And yes, I know that you should never argue in front of kids-- there are a lot of things I mean to do that I do not...) Anyway, it's starting to get ugly-- we've started in with the silent treatment and Nia just comes over to me and hugs me and then goes over to Nick and hugs him and says, "So. Guys. What can I do to get you back on the same team?"
So shortly after this, I had to leave to go out to a meeting, when I came back Nia had left me this note. (Nick said she was insistent on making it for me.) It says, "Dear Mom. I love you and I am sorry you got in trouble with my Dad. Love, Nia.
Nothing like being humbled by a 4 year old.
