He's been an amazing little guy this week! 
I come on here and voraciously read all the threads about moms who love, but don't LIKE their kids and moms who feel like awful moms and want to know what they're doing wrong....etc. I constantly feel that way, and it seems like not a day goes by w/o me losing my cool and yelling about SOMETHING.
This week has been amazing! (Did I say that already?) He helped at the grocery store(s). He held stuff in the cart and never once opened or bit into anything (except after checking out ... He opened the egg carton that the cashier thoughtlessly put next to him in the cart w/o my noticing.
). He got out of the pool to dry off when it was time. No crying. He came inside from playing w/o a fuss (except today, when we were way late on lunch/nap). He had his teeth brushed w/o squirming. He stopped playing and went to bed when it was time EVERY NIGHT. He didn't yell once after lights out, even though I left him fully awake.
WTF? And how long can I expect this to last? I know, this too shall pass, but when?
