I love to lay in bed and listen to her talking and singing on the monitor that sits on my bedside table.
Her toddler voice makes me smile and its a great way to start my day.
After a quick shower I head into her room and she's very concerned on her wetness. I discover her diaper hasn't held the night time needs and all blankets are wet.
Taking her out of her crib and then all her toys etc. I tell her that I'm going to wash everything. That her blankets need a "bubble bath".
Today she just wasn't sure what was going on and the tears began to flow and the anxiety was getting higher.
I'm not very good with this stuff. It had to be washed before afternoon nap so I just gathered it up and put them into the washer.
I had walked away from her in her room to go to the laundry room. As I headed back towards her bedroom I was thinking to myself about what I should do.
Taking her hand I led her out of her room to see her blankets in the washing machine and told her that her blankets were taking a bath and once done would become nice and warm for her to cuddle with later.
Of course I know she has no reference of time but that was all that I could think of.
My next priority was to just change the subject and move past this all.
It didn't take her to long to move on and for that I am grateful.
What will I do different next time, truthfully I don't know.
Still a learning experience and there are many of her frustrated moments that I still don't know how to handle with grace.
Any inspiration out there?
I guess a deep breathe and try, try again attitude will have to work until I can figure
out what else to do.
As she grows she'll change and handle things different too so really we're both learning together and that's a good thing.
