Early this morning I baked a dozen fresh chocolate chip cookies while Adrianna was eating breakfast. I am not Betty Crocker and I normally do not bake a 7:00 am before I get Adrianna ready, get myself ready and go off to work. I thought I would try a Sell this House trick for our first showing in hopes of making my kitchen smell of freshly baked cookies. This fragrant smell would mezmorize the potential buyer and we would have a tasty offer on house the first day. Nope that did not happen but we did have our first showing and I did learn you can't always be the Mother you vowed you should be.
******************************************
I did not commit the mortal sin but I did give Adrianna a chocolate chip cookie with her Raisin Bran for breakfast.
******************************************
Giving her the cookie is not my point of this entry. Let me go a bit backwards to explain this more. I did not become a Mother until I was 31 years old. Before I was a Mother I can vividly remember thinking in my head "I will never let me child do this or that!" I would look at children in Wal-Mart who were in the "terrible two's" and think "OMG I will never let my child act like that in a store!" What was I thinking? I have seen the light so to speak. Nothing is black and white. Who was I to judge that poor Mother and how she would let her child act.
I am being paid back for all those times. My daughter Adrianna is the love of my life and is still teaching me new things everyday. There is no manual on being a Mother or a rule book to tell you what is fair play. As a Mother you do what you think is right for your children in the given situation.
****************************************
At the moment the chocolate chip cookies came from the piping hot oven, I could not say "No" to the most precious face in the world while she said "pease" and also signed the word please in her cute Barbie Doll pj's.
*****************************************
I gave my daughter cookies for breakfast and I learned you can't always live by rules you set before you even learned the game.

Warmly,
Carmajo
