What made me smile today?
Baby's generally good mood today
What triggered me today?
Nothing! He even threw his spoon on the floor twice, and threw the brochure into the wet bathtub even though I told him not to, and I was just all calm and patience today. Amazing what an extra adult and and extra day at home can do I suppose.
What would I have done differently today?
After Baby threw his spoon on the floor the 1st time I told him if he did it again I would assume he was done with dinner. Then he ate some more before throwing his spoon onto the floor the 2nd time. At which point I didn't give him his spoon back, but when I took his plate away he reached for it, so I left it on his tray and let him eat what he wanted to with his hands. Should I have been more firm and taken the plate away? I suspect I should have.... *sigh* but perhaps a valid consequence of dropping his spoon is to just let him eat without his spoon??
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Triggers, voice, be gentle, think about limits
What am I grateful for?
Baby is all better today - no more temperature. And Baby was in a very good mood today. And sleeping in an extra 20 mins but still managing to make it in to nursery/work only 5 minutes late.
