Forgotten and Found: Mitchell's Pamper Predicament

Blake, one of the daycare’s camp counselors, had a plan. “I’ll change your pampers,” he tells Mitchell, his voice full of good intentions. But then - golf calls. The green beckons. And just like that, Mitchell’s pamper change becomes a forgotten promise.

Mitchell watches, his little face pressed against the window. Blake’s golf swing becomes a distant dance, a betrayal of the promised clean-up. Those big eyes fill with a mixture of confusion and discomfort. Where’s the promised relief? Where’s the care he was expecting?

The golf course becomes Blake’s entire world. Swing after swing, completely oblivious to the tiny human waiting, hoping, watching. Mitchell’s patience is a testament to the resilience of childhood - a quiet hope that someone will remember.

When Blake returns, the realization hits. A quick scoop, a gentle change, a moment of reconnection. Mitchell, ever the forgiving soul, doesn’t hold a grudge. Because in the world of toddlers, love is bigger than momentary forgetfulness.

Lessons learned:

• Patience is a superpower

• Grown-ups are wonderfully imperfect

• Love forgives, always

Stay curious. Stay patient. Stay Mitchell.

P.S. To all the Blakes out there - we see you. We love you. Even when you forget.
