Worst Part of the Day - The ole SB. He had a MAJOR fit this late afternoon/evening. Throwing a huge tantrum (this is very out of line for him - I wondered if at first he might not be well? But I think he was feeling just fine.) He screamed and was defiant and demanded his way. Would not touch his dinner and then tried to demand cookies (um, I don't think so.) Finally Erik had had enough - he was taken from the tub (where he was screaming for more water) and was placed in his bedroom for one hour. He (during this time) threw everything around the room. Finally calmed down. We let him out. He apologized, had some downtime and we put him to bed. WOW - I felt so bad for him. But I also think that kind of behavior must be nipped in the bud. What an unsweet he was - so weird to see him act so crazy.

Best Part of the Day - Peace reigns in the land o' Reitter. Erik and I talked over (again) yesterday and both agreed it was out of line and petty. But maybe necessary? I know that my outlook on the kiddos and our marriage shifted (positively) after it all. But I hate to have these things happen in order to improve things. However, as the saying goes - we learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Man - I should be wise, wise, wise by now.
