The apology

The other day Tayler and I had a rough morning. Part of it might have been that I was tired. Part of it might have been that she was feeling a little bit sassy that day. But most likely, it was a combination of the two. Well, Tayler sassed me and I'd had it. It was one of several sassy remarks I'd gotten from her, and I was done! I sent her little bottom to time-out, and told her that girls that sass do NOT get to go to Cheer Camp. Cheer Camp is something put on by the gymnastics place that Tayler goes to. It's a one time thing where kids get to go for two hours and learn cheers, and have fun. Tayler is VERY MUCH looking forward to this. So, when Cheer Camp was on the chopping block, Tayler was not happy. So, after 5 minutes in time out, I called Tayler to me and asked her if she knew what she'd done to get herself into time out. She replied that she knew that she'd been sassy and she was sorry. I thanked her, and told her that she needed to make sure that the sassing was stopped so that Cheer Camp could still be a possibility. Case closed. But, awhile later, I walked down the hallway to put some towels away. Outside of Taylers door was a small bouquet of fake flowers she keeps in her room, and this note:

She wrote it completely on her own. And although not all words are spelled correctly, it was completely understandable. It absolutely melted my heart. She is such a sweet, smart little girl. I am so thankful that she is in my life.
