(Image Source: healthguidepk.com) When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store, at a holiday dinner with extended family, or at home, it can be extremely frustrating.

night time conversation with my 3 year old
"i am sorry i was grouchy earlier today, mommy did not feel very good--next time i am being grouchy, you can just say, 'mommy, relax, it is ok' and i will listen to you...just like i try to make you feel better when you are not feeling well". kai replies, "yeah". i continue saying, "it is important to love each other in different ways, how do we love those around us?" kai says, "i love fidel (our dog) by hugging him, "i love che (our cat) by giving him hugs". "yes, that is good way to love, what else shows love? how about how we talk to one another or how we listen to each other or how about other things we like"? he says, "yeah, when we play together its love, or when we laugh, its love...." i get excited, "yes, kai, all of that is love, you get it...all that stuff that feels good is loving."
then, i tell him, "i am so glad you are my son and you picked me to be your mommy". and he says to me, "where did you come from?" i answered, "my mommy (your grammy) and my daddy made me....daddy put part of himself in my mommy and i grew inside of her and then i was a baby." and then he said, "how was i made?" and i explained, "your daddy put something inside of me and you grew inside of me...you got very big then you came out of me and were our baby kai". he said, "i was inside your blood?" and i say, "yes...we shared blood and you were comfy and happy inside me". he said, "i love you mommy". i said, "i love you kai, now close your eyes and sleep" and he did just that.
i am the luckiest person in the world to be kai's mommy. teaching my son to love is the best gift i can give him and give myself. but amazingly, he teaches me more than i could possibly teach him....for he is full of all the genius the universe gave him and the world has yet to take away from him.
love love love love love
gratitude.
