Disappointment

According to Jack (4): "Mommy, you disappoint me this morning because you don't let me wear my shoes I want. Yeah, you disappoint me."
Then only a few minutes later...
Kendall (3): "Mommy, can you please fix my Belle because you can fix everythings"

It gets me thinking. This is my thought process on a second-by-second basis. A mom is being told she's 'disappointing' her 4 year old then looked at as the most wonderful person in the world for fixing a toy Belle. Every second of every day there are differences in how I'm perceived and looked at. My children love me every moment, but this roller coaster is one I'm on for the next 15+ years...at least they still tell me:
Tori (3): "Mommy, you're da best mommy in the whole wide wurld" Those are the moments that make the 'disappointment' ones okay...
