 In the past couple of weeks, Noah has fallen in love with the Nintendo. The problem is, Noah is three and can't quite play the games the way Daddy and Hunter can. He loves to watch people play and he tries really hard to play by himself, but he just can't do it and he gets sooooo frustrated, it always ends in tears. He asks if he can play every day and I dread it so much because if I say "yes" I know it's all going to end in tears. If I say "no" I'm going to have tears before the day even gets started. So. . . it's sort of a no win situation right now.
Anyway, tonight was yet another night ending in tears and I was frustrated once again with the entire situation. So, I said to Noah, "Noah, you know why I don't like you playing Nintendo? Because you always, always, ALWAYS end up crying." And Noah, bless his little heart, collapsed into my arms and said, "Not always. . . just sometimes Mommy." And he cried and he cried and he cried and my heart broke into a million pieces. Oh, the difficulties of being three and wishing you were six.
