Last night I was reading Beatrix Potter's stories to the boys and Rory seemed to enjoy the escapades of the naughty Peter. I guess he can relate...

We thought tantrums were a thing of the past with Rory but now at five he's being very difficult. Sometimes he can be the sweetest little guy and the next moment be so full of rage and hateful talk. One night he had to go to bed instead of having a bowl of pudding I was preparing for a treat. And he raged for awhile and then begged and pleaded and then raged again and then begged and pleaded and so on. I thought he'd never get around to accepting the consequences of his disobedience. And then he missed AWANA the next night - again because of his behaviour. And we had to go through the whole thing again. Yikes!
