I made it past my goal I nursed for 1 year and 6 weeks! Im so proud of myself!
Something sweet
We went to an end of the year party at my work/daughters school yesterday. They had raffle prizes for the kids. This one girl who is in my daughters class wanted to win this little make up kit she ran up to the table and cried for it. She held on to it for awhile and was so sad when she had to put it back up on the table. Our director said that maybe she would win it. Well when they called out the raffles she did not win. I was standing behind her but all i could see was her little ears turning red and when she ever turned around I wanted to grab her and hug her she had tears streaming down her face and she just burst out into tears. My daughter won the next raffle item which was a nice scooter. I ran up to my daughter to give her a hug. She hugged me and then stopped and looked down at her prize and then over to her friend and my daughter was upset that she won and her friend didnt. I could see her gears in her head moving and knew what she was thinking. She kept on saying that her friend was so sad bc she didnt win a prize, but she (my dd) did. They ended up leaving soon after. But my daughter who is only going to be 3 next month wanted to give her scooter to her friend so she would be happy.
Normally I would smack a kid for crying over a prize bc it annoys me. But her family is going through so much right now and she really needed it. So it almost made me cry when she didnt win.
I just wanted to share bc it made me feel like im doing something good with her. And that shes going to do something very special when she grows. She hates to see people upset and shes very concerend about everyone.
I made it past my goal I nursed for 1 year and 6 weeks! Im so proud of myself!

Re: Something sweet
Agreed that it is nice of your DD to think of a friend...
but you didn't say anything about her having a hard time until the end and yeah... I was totally thinking I'd be embarrassed if I was that kid's parent.
That is so sweet! What a generous, thoughtful little girl you are raising.
Perhaps I am in the minority, but even if the little girl wasn't going through something, I don't see the big deal about how the girl reacted. She was just expressing her disappointment in what I view as an acceptable manner.
