The good with the bad

Lately the days have been starting rather rough. Neil seems to be getting more demanding about having things his way. Despite numerous conversation that this is not Burger King and he can't have it his way – we still have the same disagreements (everyday). No, you may not wear your pajama top all day; No, you may not have four bananas for breakfast; No, you may not shove your glass of milk across the table (mostly because he has completely refused all sippy cups). I know most of his tantrums come from frustration, I'm frustrated enough to have a few of my own. But today we made progress. Neil was pleasant and cooperative about getting in bed for his nap. So what if we didn't brush teeth today, the calm was worth it. Then like a cherry on top, Ben managed to make a little number two in the potty. Hurray!
