There are some days as a parent, that I can't help but wonder "what the heck just happened"? My daughter and I had one of those moments yesterday. When I grabbed her hand to leave school, I noticed that she didn't want to grab my hand like normal. When I looked at the palm of her hand, I found that she had not one but two areas of pencil lead were now embedded into her hand. When I asked her how it happened, all she answered was "It was an accident". Mind you, she has become kind of crazy with her pencil since starting Kindergarten and I have found graphite marks on her teeth plus the day that she came home with 5 holes in her shirt from her pencil. She and I have had many conversations about how pencils only go on paper and every day she doesn't listen I wonder "what am I doing wrong and how do these things continue to happen"? So, we went home and let her hand soak in a looong bath before digging the lead out of her hand. Some days I wonder how I survive as a mom of three. I guess by the grace of God and lots of love 💜. We all need to know that life will just continue to happen and not to be so hard on ourselves.........
