Yes, yes... we still are alive around here.
Story Time:
I had a real teaching moment today. I messed it up.
WE had a play date and when one of the kids was leaving with her mother she had a melt-down, drag-out, temper tantrum. The poor mother was wrestling her shoes on her and trying to get her out the door, while telling me how embarrassed she was. I kept assuring her that this was not the first kid to throw a tantrum, and that my own sweet daughter has been known to do the same thing. All while I was thinking, this is great! Now I can teach Elizabeth why this is so bad, and why she shouldn't throw the same type of tantrums. HOWEVER, when I shut the door behind them, all I could do was laugh. Laugh hard. Elizabeth just looked at me like I was once again loosing my mind.
Yep, a missed teaching opportunity, but man laughing that hard feels good.

lol. maybe you just taught E that when she throws tantrums she's in danger of making her mom a nutcase :) I'm glad you laughed. I think I would have too.
