The breakdown

Everyday at about 5:30 we experience the breakdown. It is the time of day that we can count on Connor breaking down about something. Yesterday it was a picture he had colored and left at the YMCA. The day before it was a lost sticker.

Our new tactic is to charm him out of his breakdown by saying something ridiculous. A super lame joke seems to do the trick just right.

One of these days he may figure out that a little nap during quiet time at school would do wonders for him. Now if we could just convince him of that.
