Progress

Well, following that night of 'testing mommy', Theo and I sat down the next day and talked. Yes, he is a little under 4 years old and I know this may be pushing things. But we talked about how certain things make us feel. If I yell at Theo, or he calls me names, or he yells at me, when he wants to do something I don't want him to do...it was actually quite interesting to hear what he had to say. We ended in a pinky promise to not yell (both of us) and for him to listen to me. Amongst other things. This was good and will be continued.

Since then things have been much easier. I fully expect future difficulties...but this was a good start to communicating with Theo about different issues. I'm very proud of the little man!
