This morning Owen and I were having a disagreement with his math homework. When he gets frustrated with a problem, he shuts down and doesn't want to listen. We were both getting super frustrated with each other and I've learned that sometimes you just need to walk away and both calm down. I left to go run an errand and he knew I was upset. When I came back, I walked back in to find this note. He had completed the problem and apologized.
It was such a sweet gesture and makes me so happy to know that he truly cares about people and is able to apologize when he feels he was wrong.
As I looked closer at the problem, I realize what I gave him was truly unsolveable because I had made a mistake in my math creating the problem. Turns out we both learned a lesson. I owned up to my mistake and apologized to him as well. Even adults can make mistakes. ;)
