Not Tate... he was stung by one of natures little creatures last night in the pool. We were just minding our business, splashing and having fun, when all of a sudden Tate starts screaming bloody murder. He lifts his arm out of the water and there was gross, pulpy sac with a stinger in his arm. He jumped out of the pool and screamed "Mom, there's a bee on your shoulder". I don't think I had anything to worry about since they only sting once. His arm swelled a little and turned red. The whole event, including the "fire stinging" pain only lasted a matter of minutes. Within an hour the swelling was fine and this morning he couldn't remember what arm it happened to.

I forgot the magnitude of a toddler tantrum. I had a rough day with tantrums today..I just keep telling myself, this too shall pass. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming"-Dory(from Nemo)
If anyone could give me some reminders on how to diffuse a tantrum quickly and quietly, I would truly appreciate it! It's been too long!!!
