Calm – Sun 15th Feb 2015
By Jeannette | February 15, 2015
After yesterday’s outpouring of emotions and lack of empathy shown by T and D, I wasn’t expecting today to go well.
But it has.
It’s been calm, the calmest day we’ve had for as long as I can remember.
It was refreshing – to say the least!
Perhaps T felt better after getting yesterday’s football antics off his chest, that and no homework to get done. D, who is so sensitive to any negative emotions, has been giggly and relaxed. Not so much of the usual cuddle-seeking when things overcome her.
In contrast, T has been the cuddly one – very unusually. Maybe his mind has been working through the implications of his football team now being a player down. He’s a deep thinker that one, we always attempt to stay one step ahead and second-guess what he’ll be asking, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. He’s been smiley and calm though today, no picking at D, which has meant she hasn’t retaliated. No stomping either.
Maybe tomorrow will be completely different. Probably will.
I’m now crossing my fingers that I’m not jinxing anything by scheduling this now, you never know.
In spite of the need for routine that T and D crave, I can honestly say that every day is different. C’est la vie.
I hope everyone’s day has gone well Jx
