What made me smile today?
Watching Baby at nursery before he noticed I was there to pick him up
Baby eating carrots at dinner - this was totally unexpected! I think it had something to do with needing something else (other than rice) to take the edge off the chicken curry...
What triggered me today?
Nothing - Baby had quite a few meltdowns today (including a couple on the tube home), I suspect due to the stress of going back to nursery after a nearly 2 week break. So today was understandably always going to be difficult for him. However I was able to remain pretty calm during all of it, even the crying on the tube!
What would I have done differently today?
Nothing, I think. Although I always find it difficult to find the right balance between giving Baby more attention and doing the things I need to do, like cook dinner and washing up after dinner. Today he did need more attention, because he was so stressed, but did I concede enough?
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Remember triggers, be gentle, voice, limits.
What am I grateful for?
Baby seems to be healthy and germ free so far! Even after a dog licked his hand yesterday - I completely forgot to clean his hands when we got back home so I was a little paranoid last night about Baby getting sick from that, but we seem to be in the clear.
