Soft Spot

Each morning, I drop of Katie at daycare on the way to school. Since Josh is in Kindergarten at my school, he is in the car with me. The kids usually eat breakfast before we leave home, and sometimes finish in the car (pop-tarts or dry cereal). Katie gets her milk at school when I drop her off, so I always bring a cup of milk in the car for Josh. He drinks it while I take Katie inside. This morning, I was in a hurry with it being the first day back after spring break, and I forgot to get his cup of milk. He grumpily asked me where his milk was before I shut the door to take Katie inside the daycare. I told him that I forgot and I was sorry. He was quiet when I came back and I asked him if he was mad at me. He said "No. It's okay. Sometimes I forget too, mama." I don't know why, but that made me feel bad. It sorta hit me in the soft spot that parents have for their kids.
