Daddy’s high school friends came over with their families. As usual, they all had a great time together, but I was not very good at sharing my toys. There was a little boy a little older than me, and of course, he likes cars and trucks as well. Daddy had talked to me about sharing before they came over and I told him that I would share. But then I was quite sad to see the little boy playing with my toys. But I held it together for a bit. But then the boy came to play with my newest Hot Wheels I lost it and started crying like crazy. It took a while for me to calm down. I needed some space. For the rest of their visit I just kind of kept my distance so that I wouldn’t get upset about the boy playing with my toys. Even though Daddy talked to me about sharing and I was trying my best, it didn’t turn out the way we wanted.
I hung out with Nana a bit and played on the iPad. When iPad time was up I came back to play with the group. I ran a couple laps with the little boy and we had fun together, but I still kept my distance overall.
Even after everyone left, I was still not in a good mood. I had another temper tantrum that took a long time to get over. Everyone was playing a board game and I was helping out a bit and playing a bit. But I was not listening so Daddy took me to the other room to watch some of my videos. During that time Daddy cut my nails.
Even though I’m having a great time and I love seeing everybody, it is easy for me to be in a bad mood because I’m so tired, still jet-lagged, and a bit overwhelmed by everything. Sometimes I just need things to be like they are at home, so I feel at home when it is just me and Daddy playing together, singing together, and just chilling.
