#big emotions
A fun way to start the morning is by having my son injure his sister and then start crying about it.
It’s a neat tactic to distract from the fact that he’s done something wrong. And by neat I mean frustrating.
He insists that nobody likes him when he gets disciplined, so we’re all stuck trying to get him to calm down instead of addressing the real issue. And his crying goes on longer than you’d believe.
Hearing my kids cry used to get me up and running. They’ve basically trained that out of me though. If everything is a crying emergency, nothing is.
So much for sleeping in though.
This week I met a friend from Austria. We met on instagram 3 years ago and this week we met for first time. It was an incredible emotion!

“What is it that the child has to teach?
The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right.”
— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman
i wonder sometimes how it would feel to be loved by someone else as much as i love other people. would i feel the need to leave like they always do?
