First Broken Heart


Aethan rarely gets attached to things.. but when we went to Universal Studios he got this stuffed purple Unicorn. He loved this unicorn, so much that he brought it to school every day. The other day, Keira chewed it up. I've never seen him cry so much, he was so heartbroken. Of course, supermom instinct kicked in and I let him pick out another purple unicorn off of amazon.com. Two unfortunate lessons he has to learn from this - letting go and waiting for not so instant gratification. I have to admit, though, I look for the box at the front door just as much as he does. The poor little boy forgave the dog when I said "She thought it was her toy" but it didn't sooth my worries he'll feel afraid the things he loves will go away.
