Tonight Hannah and I did LiteBrite instead of reading books for night nights. She sometimes does that … ‘Papa, can we play a game instead of read books tonight?’ Then, the drama classes kicked in and she got upset at me. I make deals with her. Tonight the deal was for her to wait in bed for me to come back with my guitar and play her a song after I went to brush my teeth and do shot shot. The little bunny did not stay in her bed and the deal was off. This was upsetting and I understand. I also understand that we don’t always get what we want. I think it’s my job as a parent to teach Hannah that but I’m not sure. They forgot the manual when were came home with her four years ago. I think that its not just teaching her that we don’t always get what we want but that when a decision has been made there isn’t much use crying over it. Has anyone ever been able to teach this to a four year old girl? I don’t know, me I’ll just keep chipping away at her subconscious. I know that I’ll be rolling around in there for a long time. I know this because I still here both of my parents from time to time. Or, as Roland would say - I remember the face of my father (and mother). Here are a few pictures of tonights artwork. %%slide=9%%
