I must have had my angry eyes on today. It was one of those whining and crying-filled days that can drive a parent batty. I spent all day consoling and appeasing, just have to have them both run happy and smiling to Daddy every time he walked in the room. It just doesn’t seem fair sometimes, but don’t mind me, the whining must have rubbed off.
It is pretty sad though, that my children seem to know me better than I know myself. Just as we were in the home stretch tonight, gearing up for a bath and bed, I was confronted by G pleading with me to not keep my eyes like ‘that’ (to which he mimicked what must have been a pretty scary and angry face I was making). Here I thought I had calmed down, the frustration was subsiding as the end of the day was in sight. Apparently that didn’t show on my face.
It was his commenting on my angry eyes that made me smile and make a deal with him that if he stopped whining for the night I could stop making my eyes look like that. It all reminded me of the time he told me to “calm down and take a deep breath” after a particularly frustrating day. He not only listens and remembers all the advice I give him, but he is so observant and sensitive to everyone’s actions and feelings. I think sometimes I could take some cues from him. It will certainly be an interesting ride watching such a sensitive little man grow up.
