Patience

She has this special spot at the top of the stairs, where she likes to go when she’s upset.

I tell her its okay, everyone needs time alone to cry once in a while.

She learns that emotions are okay, and how to handle them appropriately.
I learn Patience, as I give her space and wait for her to be ready to rejoin us.

When I sense the time is right, I slowly climb those stairs….

She always greets me with a smile, ready to welcome me back into her space.

Because sometimes, all it takes is a little Patience.

  1. Awwwwww! I love the first picture revelation to the last. Your daughter is adorable. I have a special place on the stairs I go to when I am upset too 😛 So I understand.

  2. This is beautiful! I’m still trying to teach my girls that it’s okay to have space and that time out’s aren’t something to be afraid of, but it’s a work in progress. 🙂
