Mommy: We took Poema to the doctor's office and after we were finished the doctor offered you a sticker. She noticed as you followed her out the door to get one that you already had four on your chest from the receptionist. I stayed in the room getting Poema dressed. I heard the doctor say, "You can have two, one for you and one for your sister." I then heard the doctor reiterating that you could only have two. Then I heard the nurse say that you needed to save some for the other kids. You came in and showed me two stickers but as we walked out you reached down in the box and grabbed a handful of stickers. I made you put them all back, even the two you were given permission to take from the doctor.
Before bed we talked about times when I love you. Some examples being, "I love you when you're happy. I love you when you're sad. I love you when you're tired and cranky." Then I asked you what happy things had happened and what sad things happened that day. You brought up the stickers and I explained what being greedy meant. I said you were being greedy with the stickers and you wanted more and more. God wants us to share. Then you asked, "Do you still love me when I'm greedy?" The answer is yes although I feel sad when you are greedy.
