Sometimes there gets to be a feeling in our home where the hormones are taking over and my emotions and my girls' emotions just escalate. At that point, I am not really great at being an understanding mom. But what amazes me is my husband's ability to understand and diffuse and bring calm to these crazy moments. I am thankful every time he steps in with his humor or logic or simple kindness and teaches my daughters about love. And in those moments, I am smart enough to step back and let him work his magic.
