The whining may be the worst thing about a 4-year-old. And the hardest part...she doesn't even know why she's upset.
So I sent her up there and told her, "Go to your bedroom and play by yourself. I've played with you for almost 2 hours and now I've GOT to go cook some dinner."
She went. And when she came back down after 30 minutes, she gave me this.
Translated:
"I am sorry mommy. I will be good. I love you. I will stop whining because I've been whining.
Love,
Jayna"
I cried. Not in front of her, but I cried. And it was a good lesson for the both of us.
Also, today I went and met with my new friend Janel. She and I have lots to talk about regarding family and parenting and just life in general. I'm glad we've decided we need adult time on occasion!!
