Another Life Lesson from my 4 Year Old!
Last night, my four year old (soon to be five), and I held our very own board game marathon. We each chose 2 of our favorite games, got our popcorn and hot cocoa and sat down to challenge each other for the Hahn Board Game Championship. I was doing pretty good until we got to "Operation". I kept hitting the sides and the obnoxious buzzer would go off, the nose would light up, and I was getting my butt kicked by a four year old.
Tanner said, "Mommy", you just need to slow down, take your time and you'll get it". I said, "I know, but I've got laundry to do and blogs to write and prices to change and dishes to unload and I need to get ready for that meeting on Monday and blah, blah, blah...". His response was, "You can do all that tomorrow mommy".
How did he get so smart? How did I get so Lucky? Seriously, there is always tomorrow and if there is NO tomorrow, do I really want to spend my last evening doing laundry and preparing for a meeting? Of course not! I want to spend my last evening with my family, having fun and getting my butt kicked at Operation! So, My goal this week is to slow down, take my time and "GET IT".
Of course, somewhere in there, I've got to make the time to practice my Operation skills so that I can take the title from my four year old! hehe
