Anyways, I realized that I am not a very patient person. I am very competitive and like people to catch onto things right away or else I get frustrated very easily. Now lets combine this with my sweet little 4 year old girl who is trying her bike for about the fourth time since we got it... it didn't go to well!! I really did try to be patient and we went at it quite a few times, but after that we both gave up, both frustrated and stating, "Dad can teach you!"
Later as I was talking to my mother on the phone and explaining my silly frustrations, she asked if I would be that way with Ella (my niece) which got me realizing that I have too high of expectations for my children sometimes, like when it comes to riding a bike, or trying to complete valentines day cards for the party the next morning! I need to just chill out, take a deep breath and enjoy the moments with my girls in a loving way... even if it doesn't turn out quite how I would like it!
