What made me smile today?
Baby spotting planes
Baby playing by himself while I was washing the dinner dishes (I *almost* finished washing the dishes before he started going crazy for my attention)
Winding down with Baby before bed time
What triggered me today?
They were only little triggers today but for some reason with disproportionately larger responses :( Baby was pulling away at the toilet roll holder while I was in the toilet, so obviously I couldn't really do anything... so when I was ready to remove him from the bathroom I'd already lost patience and didn't think before holding his hands to stop him from pulling on the toilet roll holder. Then in the afternoon he stood on my leg (as he always does) while reaching for his chair and I wasn't able to tolerate him climbing all over me anymore so I pulled my leg away but he tripped and hurt his head as I did so.
What would I have done differently today?
I would have been more gentle, would an extra moment have helped?
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Be gentle! Voice, limits, triggers... perhaps be more accepting of the feelings of frustration/annoyance/etc and then discard them somehow...
What am I grateful for?
Baby's fever has gone! His temperature was normal today.
