Waiting on Cupcakes

cupcakes

The other night I made cupcakes for E.B. He loves them and I thought the cupcakes would be a special treat. After popping them in the oven and moving on to some housework, I heard a chair scooting across the kitchen floor. When I went to check it out, I found E.B. ever so patiently [...]

Share Day Anxiety

Let’s talk about share day (or show and tell day) at school.  I swear, nothing makes me sweat bullets on a Wednesday night like trying to come up with something appropriate for my son’s Share Day, which is on Thursdays every week.  It would be different if he could just pick out something random around the [...]

Idle Threats

For the past few months, E.B. has interpreted anyone correcting him or denying him something as purposely “hurting his feelings”. If I tell him it’s time for bed, I’ve “hurt his feelings”. If I tell him no, he cannot go play outside when the heat index is 105, I have also “hurt his feelings”. This [...]
