Karen Adkins, Not Smarter Than a 3 Year Old!

As a mother of two small children I strive daily to show patience and kindness.

This can be so hard to do. In this world there are few things slower and less aware of time than a 3 year old!

Jordan prides herself on an "I can do it myself attitude." Now for the first three years of her life I have really worked at showing patience and kindness, spilled milk, broken toys, stained carpets, makeup on the walls you name it no matter what, mom always replied " That's OK Jordan."

Well my "that's OK attitude" has now backfired. Example: The Sunday morning rush off to church, " Jordan your pants are on backward, your shoes are on the wrong feet and orange and aqua blue, not a good color combination."

What do I hear, "that's OK mom!"

Poop on the carpet, "that's OK mom!" No not really OK Jordan .

Where did I go wrong?

I am not sure whether I should pat myself on the back for raising such a calm and easy going child or go back to school because I think I have now been out smarted by a 3 year old!
