I am happy to report that Bigs’ behavior was better today, but unhappy to report that it soured after I already included a lunch dessert in the lunch I just packed for him. As I sit here typing this, and also browning onions for our kielbasa dinner, he is in timeout, thrashing about his room, screaming, and stomping on the floor. I think I felt another gray hair pop up.
Since I already packed him a lunch dessert, I am hopping he earns it back.
I made a homemade PB&J Uncrustable. I have this little tool that pinches off the crust (and makes it into a square). I love this tool since it doesn’t waste a lot of the bread (only a thin part of the crust). It’s called the Wonder Sandwich Sealer N Decruster. I think I got it at Target on clearance a while back. Anyways, I pressed down the edges with a fork to further seal in the PB&J. I packed my homemade fruit snacks, Goldfish crackers, carrot chips, and three mini homemade chocolate chip cookies. It’s like a little (and healthier!) Lunchable.
I really hope his behavior allows him to enjoy his Lunchable as a whole, versus having an empty cookie spot.
Hope springs eternal!

It must be something in the air. First night of homework for my first grader and first night of us yelling at each other because of it. Oi!
Oh goodness. I hope it gets easier for us both! There’s always tomorrow ?
