Aftermath

Katy and I sometimes butt heads. Today, she refused to take her cold medicine because she claimed it felt like slugs in her mouth. I gave her 5 minutes to take the medicine on her own or I would give it to her. She chose not to take it on her own, so I chose to give it to her. And then she spit it all out into my hand.

In one of my not-so-proud parenting moments, I then smeared the goo all over her face. How's that for maturity? So, I may be a grown-up in age, but I still am learning to control my temper. After Kevin cleaned her up (he recognized that I was probably not of the proper mindset at the time), Katy apologized to me for not taking her medicine. And I apologized for my reaction. And we both forgave each other and moved on.
