Last night was a bad night. The kids were wound up and over tired. I was cranky. Todd had to go back to work after bath time. Nothing seemed to go right. I felt like all I did was yell at Elwood all night. He didn't end up going to sleep until after 10:30 and by then I was upset because I had taught him a new phrase - "I can't take it anymore". I went to bed with him cuddled up next to me and wet tears on my cheeks.
So tonight, I made an effort to be Non-Yelling Mommy. I made a special dinner - breakfast actually. French toast and strawberries - what kid could complain. Things were going so much smoother.
So I said to Elwood "We're going to have a better night tonight, right?"
He replied "Yep. Where are you going?"
My husband almost choked on his french toast he was laughing so hard.
