The Ash Wednesday Disaster




Nicholas was just out of sorts on the morning of Ash Wednesday and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He was just dragging his feet on going to school and said he was sick and didn't want to go. I eventually got it out of him that he was afraid of getting ash on his head at Ash Wednesday Mass at school. Someone at school (older kids) told him it was going to burn since it was ash(from a fire or so he thought). So his OCD went into overdrive and he was terrified to go and threw a huge temper tantrum and cried all through our morning routine. Being the mean Mom that I am I sent him to school in the carpool anyways. And as you can see in the pictures he got Ash on his head and was just fine.
