One of those days

Moms, do you ever have one of those days when you think that bedtime can not just get here fast enough? Well, as I am sure you can relate, today was one of those days for me. As I began to put the kids down my patience was getting thinner and thinner as I was trying to rush through the routine faster. I am just being honest with you guys, it was a hard day. I was up earlier than usual with Sadie, Jack didn't nap well so therefore mommy was running on lack of sleep. As I put Sadie down this evening, I was sterner with her than usual. I felt so guilty for it after wards. I just wanted to run back into her room and cuddle with her but knew that I didn't need to do that. For about a month or more Sadie has been really testing me trying to prolong bed time. And therefore the need for a stern mommy. After she had been down an hour she started crying again. I had had enough. I went in and she needed to potty. So, off we go to the potty. After she was finished, she looked at me gave me a huge hug and kiss and said, "Mommy, God made me for His Glory." What? My precious angel was getting it! We had been working on this for a while and she got it. She said, I am gonna get back in my bed and go to sleep and not cry. And that she did. I needed that tonight. I needed that bit of wisdom from my 2 year old. I stopped and thanked God for His Grace on nights when we mommies are tired and lose our patience. Thank you Father for the sweet innocence of my 2 year old. Oh may she continue to grasp how wide, how deep and how long the Love of our Father is.
