A quick lesson about the universe
Ruby had a fairly good showing last night in the Piss Poor Behavior competition she’s been having with herself. I don’t know if it’s an almost-four thing or if it’s the change in her daily routine or both. She started going to a new school two weeks ago, which subsequently closed down amidst all the flu hysteria, which subsequently sent her back to her old school. Whatever the issue(s), we’ve had some special moments of late.
Shortly after recovering from her latest spit-swat-stinkeye-cry fest, she walked toward me for a hug. On her way into my arms, she stubbed her toe on her art table at the foot of her bed. Crying ensued.
“Oh, honey,” I said as I wrapped her up in my arms. “Do you know what that was?”
“Whaaaaat, Mama?” She asked.
“That was instant karma.”
!
You. Totally. Rock.

My mother taught me about karma from a young age also.
I never thought the “terrible twos” were bad at all–I did not care for the “fearsome fours” though–so-called because we feared we might not let them live until five.
if Ruby likes music, get her the John Lennon song. Might as well harness that growing-up energy
That is AWESOME!!!
