What made me smile today?
Baby giving me the cheekiest smiles on our way home from work
Baby eating whole beans for dinner - it is almost impossible to predict whether he will eat his vegetables or not
What triggered me today?
I wanted to read through the Waitrose magazine 'properly', i.e. one page at a time, sequentially. Normally when we read through books/magazines/newspapers together I let him turn the pages which means we read toddler style - skipping pages and going backwards and forwards. So i think I was a little bit too stern with him when I insisted on turning the pages and didn't let him turn the pages. I guess I should have just saved the magazine for when he was asleep (but I really didn't want to wait!) or accepted that I would have to read it toddler style if I was not going to wait (but I really wanted to read it adult style!)...
What would I have done differently today?
Saved the magazine for later?
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Remember triggers, limits, voice, be gentle.
What am I grateful for?
Baby seemed better at nursery today. He did have a big cry after dinner though, which I think was still a result of not being used to going to nursery again. And he did just wake up crying 10 minutes ago, which I suspect is more nursery anxiety. At least he's getting it all out.
