The tides of a 4 1/2 year old

Our son Andrew (aka Masher)is 4 1/2. He is currently experiencing all of his emotions and testing them out on us (his parents), his sister and I'm sure at daycare with his friends. He's normally a very even-keeled kind of fellow, but lately, he's been a bit more shall we say 'emotional'?

Last week, Andrew woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He was a bit out of sorts (to put it nicely) and he was getting ready to go to daycare in the morning with Mike. He was walking around the house and found this ball that he had gotten from Auntie Buzzy (in her classroom when we visited recently).

He was crabbing about something. Picked up the ball, showed it to Mike and yelled: "And this smiley face ball doesn't even make me happy right now!!"

So that pretty much sums up our world right now. I'm sure it will pass soon just like every other phase he has gone through and will go through.

Hard not to laugh when he springs that one on you.
