I'll tell you right now, today has not been good. It all started at 11:15 when I told Cam he couldn't bring 3 noise-making super heroes in the car on our trip to Russellville. It was just the beginning of a LONG day. We did not go to Russellville. It's 7pm and he's still in his room, his voice should be hoarse from screaming this afternoon, but he's completely over it.
As a matter of fact, I had to put him in the car to get Erin from work and on the way to the pool in the back seat he told Sheridan he was sorry for being mean today, asked Jordan to forgive him for making faces at her, and then asked me to forgive him for being mean today. Unprovoked. He understands reconciliation, unfortunately, he has had lots of practice as he sometimes falls in the PIT of these fits and I cannot get him out.
One thing, when I lose it, and I certainly NEVER mean to get so angry right back at him, but I do....when I lose it, or when I'm completely calm, I always look at him in the eye and tell him no matter how he acts, I still love him. He needs to know that and I need to say it. He's not going anywhere and I have faith that someday he'll believe it's better when he's making good decisions.
