Breaks My Heart

Madisyn had a tea party at school last week Friday, where they get to dress up in their church outfits and practice their manners. The girls just love it!

I let Madisyn wear her fancy Christmas dress and did her hair up to look like a "princess." After the kids were off to school, I noticed that my note on my calendar said something about a "Teddy Bear Tea Party." OOPS! I completely forgot to send a teddy bear with her. I called Rob to confirm. He said that, "Yes, all of the other kids had a teddy bear, but that they also had... their pajamas on." OH NO! I forgot that it was a PJ and teddy bear tea party.

I quickly got PJ's and teddy bears together and drove to school. As soon as I arrived, Madisyn ran over to me and hugs my legs SO tight... and started crying! At that moment I felt so terrible. I realized that I had completely embarrassed her. The teachers even told me that for a while she wanted to be in Landon's room and that the director was going to go to the store to buy Madisyn some PJ's. Talk about just feeling awful!

I finally got her changed and apologized numerous times for making her feel embarrassed, gave lots of hugs and kisses and she was on her way back to playing. She reached for the door, turned around, looked at me, and asked, "Mommy, can I have one more hug."

I'm pretty confident that I won't make that mistake again!
