Make it better...

This is my Lula...she LOVES the water and her favorite thing to do is wash her hands. She makes me smile and is one of my favorite things about being a mom. She is all sass--and I love it! This morning we were upstairs getting ready for the day in my bathroom. Tess was brushing
her hair and playing in my makeup and I was tying a knot in my hair so I could try and survive the only mild heat we're having today. I had heated my curling iron and saw Tessa's little fingers reach for it before I could get to her.
As her little hand wrapped around the tip of the iron, her face was mixture of shock and complete heartbreak! Luckily she only burned her little finger...but I grabbed her and held her close while she cried on my shoulder. She looked up at me with her tear-stained cheeks, held her burned little finger to my lips and said, "Mama-make it better"...
I kissed her finger and held her close for a minute longer until she wriggled free and jumped down to move on with her day. I've thought about this moment all morning and was thinking about how wonderful it would be if I could "make it better" for all my kids with a simple kiss. As soon as Mom was there to kiss away the "owee"--it was forgotten and life was good again. Just imagine what the world would be like if everything was so simple--if we all could know we are really loved and it only takes a kiss to "make it better"... hmmm...sounds a little bit like a Walgreens commercial...only in a perfect world!!
