Letter to my toddlers

Dear Hannah, Hailey & Emily,

I'm sorry.  I apologize for not knowing that even though the color red was acceptable for a shirt color yesterday - it no longer is acceptable today.  I am sorry I put your left foot in your pants 1st instead of your right.  I'm sorry I gave you the purple cup when you really wanted the yellow one, only to change your mind (after I caved and gave you the yellow) back to actually wanting the purple because that one is 'yours'.  I didn't know.  I also was unaware that sharing a couch cushion with you was conditional upon your mood. 

I'm sorry I took you to the park with 'too many' slides instead of the park with 12 slides.  And I assure you I didn't know that the Dora pajamas were too tight.  I'm sure they'll fit just fine tomorrow though!  I didn't know you wanted your socks put on before your shirt and I will do better to remember next time the order in which you prefer to get dressed. 

I apologized to the mailman, neighbor and neighbors dog on your behalf today.  Apparently they are no longer your friends (they were your friends yesterday so we were to assume that this was still the case today).   My bad. 

I will throw away ALL of the purple pop pops and the broken ones as well.  They shall be replaced with only the best of what you want....for the moment. 

Should you all decide to change your mind about anything else, or deem it necessary to point out my oversights via nuclear meltdowns - it will be ok with me.  Because I love you :) 

Love,
Mommy
