I've tucked my bitty girl back in for nap time multiple times now. I love that little stinker! I think she's finally relaxed and is nearing sleep. I wish I could relax! I sometimes wish I could read her mind as well. Children are like little puzzles - a temper-tantrum isn't alway {perhaps never really is?} fully JUST acting out.
I believe that most of the time it's a silent message. My girls seem to react negatively in predictable patterns. Many have to do with me. {No pressure there!!} If I'm short, grouchy, "pmsy", tired, irritated, or overall not smooth and gentle than they are more likely to be sensitive and emotional. They feed off of us! So, if I am doing well and they are still sensitive - well, I've still found it to be more than just a case of the crankes.
Then, this afternoon, I found this poster! It's amazing! Perhaps it slightly over simplifies our kids. BUT as a whole it's a good reminder that there is more going on than meets the eye. I know that with both my girls - but sometimes I need a reminder.
For your intellectual and viewing enjoyment: {Isn't it beautiful as well!!}
