Was today typical?
I woke to the muffled sounds of a threenage that was risen from a deep slumber, woken by something that triggered big feelings.
Whining, growling, half-asleep toddlerisms penetrate the darkness. No stranger to problem solving, I began my day trying to determine the cause of the foul mood that the toddler is blessed with this sunny hot Tuesday.
Finally, we made our way to the kitchen, where a feelings tornado began to erupt because we were out of cereal. Not OUT of cereal, but out of the only ones that count today, which may not even be the ones we liked yesterday.
Luckily a quick dance around the kitchen listening to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” and we were again right as rain. The clouds disappeared as we glided out to door for preschool.
The forecast for evening is partly cloudy with a chance of overstimulated tantrums. Wish me luck!
