We had a long drive home from Indiana yesterday. It should be about 7 hours, but we had an extra 3 hours thanks to the ice. Driving 15 miles/hour on the highway is no fun, especially when the wind starts blowing the van across the lanes. Anyway, Jax was overtired and sick of being in his seat. He didn't want to nurse or calm down for anything. I was frustrated, tired and ready to ride on top of the van like cargo instead of inside with all the screaming. Scott pulled off at a rest stop and took Jax inside to try to get him to sleep. As soon as he left the car Lili said, "Mama, it's okay to be frustrated but next time just say, 'Dadda I need some help' okay?"
Cue me crawling under the seat in shame.
This brilliant, sensitive, exhausting 3 year old had better perspective on the situation than her mama.
