Hugs

I have this problem with stress when things don't go my way. I really need to work on it, but am not quite sure how to let go. If something is on my schedule, I want it to happen on time. I guess it's a modern times conundrum and a common one at that

I love this: "You are using your mean words and it makes me feel frustrated." THERAPY-TALK MOMS, FTW!

Our recent visit to the same yuppie mall was a rare success, because we ended up layering wanted activity on top of wanted activity, so that each transition was a party. Mac & Cheese! > Playground!! > Buying toy boat at yuppie toy store!!! > Going home to put the boat in the bathtub!!!! I think it's the only time a trip to UVillage hasn't been frustrating, and it's because each thing we did lead him to something he wanted to do EVEN MORE. It was total dumb luck -- I wish I could say I'd planned it. (Although you KNOW if I had, it wouldn't have worked.)

In Niko's case... it sounds like dude was just tired and needed a hug. I know the feeling!

Adorable! Amazing how 2 year olds can make us stop and do a total re-set in our thinking.
