R-E-S-P-E-C-T
This morning I made the greatest boo boo of my entire life as a mother.
Yesterday, Summer che che gave Sophie a Chupa Chup lollipop.
It was in my bag and I thought Sophie forgot about it when we got home last night……….and so, I THREW IT AWAY coz I generally try to avoid giving Sophie lollipops.
This morning, all of a sudden, Sophie asked,
"Where is the lollipop Summer che che gave me yesterday?"
Oops! Sigh…. can’t lie right? So I told her,
"I threw it away."
And she burst into tears and said,
"But Mummy it’s so special! Summer che che gaaaaaaaaave it to meeeeeeeeee."
And then I tried to come up with some stupid excuse and then she said the same thing again. It was at that point that my heart crashed and I realised that it actually meant so much to her!!!!!! Aiyoooooooo big boo boo. I thought she’ll just forget and it’s just another lollipop. Sigh… I had to make amends and offered to buy her another one but she didn’t want, she only wanted it because it was given to her by Summer che che. Sigh…..I felt so bad!!!!!!! But in the end, I still bought her one and told her that we’ll try to go to Summer che che’s house again.
Ok I think I really need to learn to RESPECT my little one. She might be little but she has big thoughts and big dreams.
