We drove up to Tahoe (North Shore) today and had a great family drive in the car. Everything was going very well until we actually got to Tahoe. Once we landed and got unpacked A just started running amuck. Granted, he was excited for his friends to arrive (turns out they had major car problems and won't be arriving till tomorrow) but he was off the hook crazy. Not listening to anything we told him, excited talking to the point of panicking, wasn't paying attention to where he was going walking to the car and smacked his head into the door so he got a HUGE knot on his forehead, and the list goes on. We finally got him semi-calmed down to go swimming but then once we were done he was whining about what fun thing he got to do next.
BREATHE
Something I think we all forget to do from time to time is to just step back and breathe. How do we get our kids to do it, if we often have times modeling it ourselves? Looking forward to a better day tomorrow and praying for renewed mommy patience with the new day.
