The girls and I had just pulled into the garage from Madisen's softball game. I noticed right away she didn't have her glove and bat and asked her where they were. She quickly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot them and left them at the baseball field!"
I was tired and low on patience. So I kind of scolded her more than necessary, saying to her things like, "Well you need to be more responsible for your own things and not lose them and keep track of them as they are yours."
I told the girls to come inside and I will call dad as he was headed home soon from church to see if he could swing by the baseball fields and pick them up. Well I couldn't call Ryan because I couldn't find my phone. I looked and looked for about 5 minutes or so. I then asked the girls, can you please help mommy find her phone, it's around here somewhere, I forgot where I put it.
Madisen quietly says, "But Mom, isn't that YOUR responsibility as it is YOUR phone? You really should keep track of it."
OUCH. "Yes, Madisen you are right. I am sorry I got after you. You you right, Mommy needs to keep track of her phone. Thank you for pointing that out."
Lesson learned! haha. I got burned by my child. She sure does teach me a lot. I love her!
