The second Father 100 where dads or moms write 100 words or less on one word that Chalkboard Dad gives. You can read more about the rules here, but that is basically it. This weeks word is forgiveness and below is my entry as well as links to other entires:

The frustration is blinding and bubbling out of every pore as I sit here next to him. He is crying, head down with heavy sobs trying to get back in control. We share that job right now, trying to regain control. I don’t remember who lost it first but he is four and I am not. “I’m sorry sweet boy, daddy should not have yelled like that” “It’s OK daddy, I forgive you.” His crying stops, mine is just starting as we both finish up our time in the naughty chair.

The Father 100

When the boys climb into bed with us just after dawn I feel it. I may be a little annoyed at the early hour and the end of sanctuary but when they snuggle up on the pillow and fill the space between us my protests melt away. It is those moments when I most acutely aware of how lucky, blessed, and fulfilled I am. I am aware of what it means to love and be loved by these little ones and though it will be a while before the alarm stirs us to action I am happy right here.

This is for the Father 100 project over at Chalkboard Dad. The rules are listed below:

You will have between now and midnight on Friday to write a one hundred word post inspired by that word. Entries can be less than one hundred words, but they cannot be more. Posts must focus on some aspect of parenting. Even though I call this the Father 100, moms are encouraged to join us!
