Frustrating

So, it's frustrating when your four-year-old decides to throw a tantrum instead of getting shoes on to go outside and play. Especially when you haven't gone out to play all day because you were waiting until after supper when the playground is a little more shaded and, therefore, playable.

And I felt it was best to let him see that there are consequences to his actions, even if it meant that Nils and I missed out on the fun. I actually was going to let him go outside, offering forgiveness and a second chance, after he had admitted that he had thrown a bad tantrum on the phone to his mother. But Anders decided he'd rather take a bath. Ugh, I'm a bit scared that we're butting heads already in his young life.
