Finally Chloe got it together and was ready to play. It didn't take long for her to forget the pain, especially when Reef came into the picture. Chloe was playing behind their playhouse when Reef came to the door, smiles abounding. Then the world slowed down, seconds turned to minutes as Chloe yelled "NO!" and slammed the door literally in Reef's innocent face. Reef cried in pain, a large, black hill appearing on his forehead.
It took 10 minutes of ice and cuddling to stop the tears and another 10 for Reef not to be afraid of Chloe's apology..."Are we going to make it?"
Parenting is a daily adventure and while most days you sit and catalogue every movement and sound, there are others that you experience and learn from, that are emotional and unpredictable. The ones that you are proud to say "We made it!"
