How Do They Know?

I was at the pool with my kids and I found myself being hard on my 4 year old.

Don’t splash other people!
Don’t run!
Don’t yell!
Don’t!
Don’t!
Don’t!

It’s a pool for crying out loud!  Don’t splash?  And we are outside - didn’t I say you could yell and scream outside?

I want him to be a little gentleman - but he’s a little kid.  He NEEDS to be a kid.  I was feeling bad for hours after the pool.  Really wondering how I am warping this sweet little boy?  Then we are eating lunch and he says “mom I gotta tell you something.”  He gets up, walks around the table, gives me big hug and kiss and tells me that I am the best mom in th whole world.

How did he know that I needed that?
