| The Spirited Child in Action |
| Date: Today 07:09 |
| My son is just over 14 months old and I think we can safely say he's "spirited." I like that term over difficult. Mostly because I think he comes by his temperament quite honestly (mommy blushes slightly here). This makes us like two bulls in a china closet fighting over the gravy dish sometimes, which is where we were about 4 hours into our holiday... |

Every time we do this I walk away thinking "If I approach things like X next time, the stress will not get to me" and whether I do that thing or not, the stress nearly always gets to me.
