Sincere Apology

Elaina’s a pretty polite little girl.  I often get “please”, almost always get “thank you”, and occasionally, “I’m sorry, Daddy.” 

Now, let me preface this next bit with the assertion that I’m a pretty even tempered person, and even more so when it comes to Elaina.  But she’s two, and she can try one’s patience sometimes.  So, while it’s infrequent and somewhat mild, I do occasionally raise my voice a little.  She’ll often get respond to that with “I’m sorry, Daddy,” and it’s cute and nice and gets us back in-sync.

So, the other night, I’m brushing her teeth, and she’s being extraordinarily two, and I raise my voice a little. 

Elaina’s response?  “I’m sorry Daddy yelled.” 

You have to give her points for sincerity.
