What every mom wants to hear.

Last night I was lying in bed next to my daughter so she would go to sleep faster.  Totally did not work.  She was too busy talking to me!  And by now it’s 10 p.m. and I’m totally losing my patience and I’m frustrated and I say, “Summer, I’m really losing my patience here.  You’re not even trying to fall asleep.  I’m gonna have to ground you soon.”  And I don’t even think she was listening because right about that time she wraps her arm around my stomach and hugs me and says, “Momma, you’re a great mom.”  Then she was right back to talking about whatever.  I was floored.  I don’t know about the rest of the mothers out there, but for me, as a mother, it was a BIG DEAL.  I tried to interrupt her and tell her how meaningful it was to me that she would say that and how happy that made me that she would tell me that and feel that way and she just said, “Yeah, I know.”  And then went right back to whatever she was talking about.  Funny, because she couldn’t possibly know at 8 years old.  Me?  I just wanted to say, “Oh, go to bed whatever time you want from now on!”  ha ha !
