What made me smile today?
Baby walking around in the park
Baby being a little bit bossy and insisting on Daddy using a particular colour for his colouring page
Baby happily playing by himself after lunch, which gave me enough time to wash the dishes
What triggered me today?
This was a big one today :( I always dread Sundays as I’m always very busy, even more so than normal, and this time I let it get to me. I was pretty grumpy most of the morning. I ended up raising my voice at Baby while I was tidying up after breakfast, when he really hadn’t done anything wrong (but I was even grumpier by that point as he was very messy during breakfast and decided he didn’t want to eat his porridge, I suspect because he prefers smooth porridge over lumpy porridge). And I snapped at him afterwards because he was insistently pointing at something and I had no idea what he was pointing at. I need to figure out how to not get so worked up about the mountain of things I need to do on Sundays.
What would I have done differently today?
I would have tried harder to not let my grumpiness affect Baby.
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Remember voice, be gentle, triggers, limits.
What am I grateful for?
Baby sleeping soundly meaning I was able to finish watching The Avengers (Age of Ultron). Although this also meant that I went to sleep far too late, yet again. Also, tooth brushing for Baby is now no longer full of tears… and hopefully I can get it to stay that way.
