Recharge

Living with a super intense and rather angry three-year-old means a lot of the following:

- Frustration (on behalf of everyone involved)

- Guilt ("I should be better at all of this!")

- Helplessness ("what am I doing WRONG?")

- Anger (on behalf of everyone involved)

- Tiredness (tired of things, tired because of things, lack of sleep tired, sometimes extra tired on top of that)

- Whinging and nagging (on behalf of everyone involved)

- Tears (on behalf of everyone involved)

And then sometimes you have a day like today. Maniac three-year-old decides to cooperate almost entirely all day. She is smiley and happy and obliging. She is actually helpful during grocery shopping. She gives you random kisses, just because. She entertains her baby sister, and gives her random kisses too. She takes no for an answer. She sits on her backside at the table and finishes her dinner. And to complete the perfect day, she wants to sing songs with mamma at bedtime and goes to sleep within minutes of jumping into bed.

And then you suddenly, magically, feel you have all the energy in the world to do it all again tomorrow!
