Tantrums

There is something I would love to mark it down, to remember.

Earlier this month, we brought kids to Disneyland. We watched the Mickey and Wondrous Book. At the end of the show, there's always confetti and shiny ribbon streamer popped out from the top. As usual, K would want to pick one of the ribbon which I normally allowed if we sat near one. But not this time, our seats were far from the popped area, so I told her she can pick up next time when we sit nearer. Of course, like most of the kids her age "the terrible 3", she insisted, threw tantrums to the point I suggest we leave right away.

 {{{Fast forward}}}

At the end of the day when we are in the car heading home,  she hold my hands and said

K: I am sorry mommy

Mom: Sorry for what? [I am puzzled, no idea what was she talking about\

K: I throw tantrums just now

Mom: Oh, thank you. Thank you for thinking about it and say sorry to mommy.

I am proud of many things in my life, especially raising both K and D by myself as a full time stayed home parent but this is definitely one of my proudest moment as a mother. Mr and I are truly touched by her thoughtfulness, reflecting on her behavior, and taking the courage to admit her emotion and apologized for her inappropriate action. K, she is 3 and a half years old.
