Good Advice

Naomi: How come you sometimes treat me like I'm a baby?

Me: Well, I forget what a big kid you are. I used to have to do most things for you and I forget how much you can do on your own now.

Naomi: Yeh.

Me: Like crossing streets on the way to school....

Naomi: ...and calling friends on the phone....

Me: ...packing your lunch...

Naomi: ...letting me walk around the block...

Me: Yeh. Its hard for me to learn how to treat you like a big kid.

Naomi: You should practice, mom. Its the best way you learn new things.
