I need a 'do-over'...
Logically, I know that an adult should never, ever let themselves be drawn in to a battle of wills with their child. It never ends well.
And there were no winners, only two sorry losers clinging to each other, crying.

We've all been there. You have a great perspective on it. We all make mistakes. Tomorrow try again!

Thanks Creatress. Yesterday was a better day. Today seems to be going well too. He is still acting like he's 6. But I have been acting like the adult again. It's much better that way. :o)Tomorrow, TripletDad and I leave for a week on our business trip to the annual baby industry tradeshow. I know that I will have a lot of behaviors to iron out with our kids when we return. It is always a challenge to kids to adapt to temporary caregivers (even if the are grandparents). And then it takes some time and patience to get them back on the regular house schedule and routine again after a trip. Just reminding myself of that is sometimes all I need, though.
