This afternoon I was in my house, minding my own business, reading and snacking. Ash was outside running around with aunties and uncles. Britt was in her room playing with her toys. Then I heard the sound of approaching footsteps at my door, followed by a little knock.
Whomever it was, they were short. I opened up the door to see Ash. She said, "bella kai-ee." I just nodded my head sagely and invited her in to have some carrot sticks with me. She, of course, stepped in to happily devour said vegetables - completely forgetting about her reason for coming to the door.
Then I heard it. The sound of a small person, gut-crying. All of a sudden I realized what Ash said - "Bella's crying." **smacks forehead** Obviously I ran out the door to see what the matter was. Molly beat me to it. Bella was fine physically. Just got her feelings hurt by another short individual. Such dramatic sobs for no torn skin, broken bones, or poked eyeballs!
After that I felt stupid. This is what happened. Ash came to the door to get help for her sad auntie (this is why I am proud - such a sweet girl!!). "Bella's crying," she says. Me: "Uh-huh. Here, have a carrot." In other words, "No biggie. Doesn't matter." Not exactly the super mommy follow-up to her good deed that I would have wanted. Fail.
**sigh**
