We've had quite a few tussles this week, little Blueberry mine. You have suddenly decided that you DO NOT want to go to bed and have been shutting down to try to avoid having to do so.
We've been talking a lot about how mommy and daddy are not good at mind reading and you have to use words to tell us what's bothering you. Finally tonight you used words very well.
First of all you told you "I don't know where doggy is and that makes me mad."
Later, having resolved the doggy situation, you felt that since this expressing emotions business went so well, you decided to inform me about another time that you felt mad.
"Member when we went and saw my best friend Lily and then we had to leave? That made me mad."
Me: "Yes, leaving friends can make us upset. Is there anything we can do to help that?"
You: "Go see Lily."
Sigh. The problem with expressing oneself is that those who are being expressed to (especially when they're your parents) have to deal with those desires and needs. LOL.
