Sometimes... for a treat... the girls are put in the car in their pajamas to go for a quick ride before bed. They love it. Tonight however... Aidan missed out. She was acting up and not listening and wouldn't settle down... so I sent her to bed and John left with only Ainsley in the car.
At times... I hate being the Mom.
She was heartbroken and inconsolable to the point she wouldn't stay in her room (she ALWAYS stays in her room if she's in trouble)... she was screaming "Daddy don't leave me" and just, in general, losing it. I honestly can say I don't think she's ever been that upset. Once John was finally out of the house... I picked her up, brought her to the couch and held her until she calmed down. We then had the best time chatting and talking. We talked about Christmas and Santa Claus and shopping and picking out presents and all sorts of things. After a while she looks at me and said
"Mommy, I'm glad I'm here with just you."
Oh, does that do a heart good!!!

aww! a night of possible terror (we have had those nights around here too recently) turned out to be one of shear joy! What a sweet conversation and I'm sure your heart just melted to hear her say that....
