Cute as a button

Did I mention that THAT CHILD is also cute as a button? I can't help but giggle through some of his dramatic spells of frustration and foot stomping theatrics.

Its also a chance to apply the Social Emotional Intelligence parenting skills I was taught at the Seeds of Compassion conference.

I see a glint of calm wash over his face as I label his emotions, cause, and discourse. He listens, roars, exhales, and collapses into my arms for an atoning hug.
