Today was Emma’s Christmas program at school. I will try to upload all the videos from it soon. But tonight I’m just going to bed. She was in meltdown city all afternoon, until I finally tried to put her to bed a little after 5. She finally went down around 8:30 when I was reading the advent devotional. It was a long evening.
All dresssed up!
Ms. Holly came to watch! Emma was so excited!
Liam and Riley just got back from a trip, and we missed them! They brought Emma back a fire truck pencil, since they know she likes fire trucks. :) This face describes our afternoon, only with less tears.
Seriously, a good sight after 3.5 hours of fighting it. I thought she might never go to bed. She was in a disrespectful mood, so she ended up going to bed without finishing her dinner. However, sometimes what she needs when she is acting up is not what she deserves...like most of us. Sometimes she needs discipline. Tonight she just seemed to need mommy....”mommy all the time,” as she says. So after trying to put her to bed for 2 hours, I decided to just let her be with me. So she took a shower with me, wrapped presents with me, brought the devotional to my bed and fell asleep in my bed while I was reading. While I’m glad I had my job because it made the time go by faster, I’m glad to not have it now so I have the energy to deal with her meltdowns. I had plenty of time today to do my Bible study and even went out to lunch and shopping with a friend. “This day has brought to you by the grace of God!”
