Worst Part of the Day - This was actually kind of funny - I put IMP down for his nap and he just wailed and wailed. I thought "he'll calm down" and went upstairs to use the computer. Upon coming downstairs my mom said "oh I thought you were downstairs with IMP - he cried for a LONG time." So we both agreed I should check on him. Now IMP is sleeping in a crib in a big closet with doors in the room I'm sleeping in. I open the door and am astounded to find him on the queen bed (MY bed) fast asleep with his beloved froggie softie. Okay - so do I move him or no? I move him back to the crib and he starts to WAIL again. I close the door to the room. Twenty minutes later, I check on him and there he is back on (MY) the bed. Then he proceeded to sleep for 2.5 more hours. Wow. Here is a kid who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. That scares me (and simultaneously makes me proud.) Okay - so where am I going to sleep now?

Best Part of the Day - The boyz and I had an amazing afternoon. We played (mostly) gently outside. We walked calmly together. There was no trauma or drama - it was just like a dream. No crying, no whining, no running away from me, no tantrums. SB listened and obeyed the first time, every time. IMP was good as gold. It was soooo fun and the afternoon just flew by! Here's hoping for more of this and less of the other.
