Todays lesson came from the choice to let Mary Anne constantly play with things that will be ruined.
I realized that the huge purchase was initially made to please me, and it pleases me most to make her happy and if she breaks so many of my things, I ought to show displeasure, but ultimately the purpose,has not changed and so I gave it to her and feel like it is the right thing although any teaching I have known says to not give it back, still, though hard at times, I try to obey my instincts because with the right perspective my choices change in consequence to support the things I may not have been taught to do but are true.
Eternally a ruined thing will bearno consequence, but a child's love will, and even if she doesn't see it either,she is learning to love me by my forgiving her, let me say, that she has to feel bad and want forgiveness and know that the behavior was not acceptable.
