The cookie offering of apology.
Jacob was a BEAR today. An absolute out of control, crazy insane, crooked as sin, saucy and violent BEAR today. I cried for the whole evening because I was just SO tired of it all and really feeling like the ultimate failure. And then all of a sudden I hear a very tentative "Mommy?" and there he is, standing there with this cookie in his hand and he said "I'm really REALLY sorry that I was so bad today, will this cookie make you feel better? Ben made it for me but I think you should have it. I don't really deserve a cookie" And then he kissed me and hugged me and whispered "I love you".And I felt a little better. Not because of the cookie...but because he actually recognized for one of the first times the consequences of his behaviour - that it made Mommy cry.
