This morning my 5 year old woke up as sweet as can be and just added brightness to our day. But yesterday a nightmare woke up and she was furious with me!
Her reasoning… I was lying next to papa and not her! There’s nothing unusual about me sleeping next to my husband, so I don’t know why it affected her so?
And the rest of the morning was a struggle – getting her to put on clothes, eat, drink, etc. Then she saw me washing fruit for her lunchbox for school and the cross kid became an angel – she wanted to help!!! The rest of the morning she was a darling, listening and very helpful.
My husband and I looked at each other totally confused, but we have learnt that adult reasoning does not help.
Were we like that when we were young? It’s hard to believe.
