Overall things have been going well. He has moved out of the Honeymoon phase (where he only wants to show his good side) to the testing phase where he pushes limits trying to see how much he can get away with and also testing to see if I'll let him stay with me even when he's not on his best behavior. Though he is learning fast that I am steadfast in my ways and I'm very stubborn so he will not get free roam... He's also at that age where naps are borderline --- if he takes one then he's in a better mood but has trouble sleeping at night and if he doesn't take one he's on a short fuse through the afternoon.
Today we took Christian out for lunch after school (early days on Friday) as he was having a rough week. Lloyd has had a problem of shoving too much food into his mouth at once that we're working on. He wanted to eat whole apple slices that were just too big for his tiny mouth. So I was trying to get him to take bites of the apple slice and that led to a small meltdown from Lloyd. Since we were basically done I decided we should just leave before we disrupt anyone else --- and of course that led to a much bigger meltdown --- and yes, since we were meeting Christian this is one of the days he did NOT have a nap!! Of course, as luck would have it as we're leaving we run into friends --- not exactly a good first impression :) Got Lloyd into the car and drove home (less than 10 minutes away) and by the time we got home Lloyd was out, sound asleep!
