No :(

My little girl brings me so much joy, but sometimes, she says things that make me so sad. Last night, I was lying in her bed with her after reading books and trying to get her to fall asleep. She kept reaching out to hold my arm and I said, “No, Sam!” because I didn’t really want her touching me since it makes it that much harder to get out of her bed when she falls asleep without waking her up. The next thing I knew, I heard her little voice mumbling, “All ever hear is ‘No, Sam…'” I wasn’t sure I heard her correctly so I asked her to repeat it and when she did she sounded so sad.
It is so hard being a mom sometimes. You try so hard to steer them into the right behavior, but sometimes, I think there can be more No’s than you realize. It is something I told her that I would try to work on. Less No’s, more Yes’s. I hope I can stick to it.
