State of Confusion

Tripp went to Greenville for a few days while Allen and I did some landscaping & much needed cleaning out. It's very hard to get anything done when Tripp is around (no offense, Mister T). Prior to coming back home, I'd heard a few reports about Tripp's "temper tantrums". I had to be honest & tell the folks "back home" that I had no idea what they were talking about. And then Tripp came home...the child I sent to Greenville and the child that returned are TOTALLY different. Not sure what happened, but this is the look I've had on my face all week...
(please pay no attention to the double chins)

To say the least, I haven't really known how to handle this very decisive child of mine. He has certain ideas about things and if they don't go his way, well, he'll definitely let you know. As any parent probably knows, when a child goes to the grandparents (& great-grandparents, in this case), they come back slightly off schedule. I've worked diligently on getting him back on track, I've cut out ALL vanilla wafer & push-up intake, & I've ignored his fits. Thankfully, he's calmed down (a little).
