Exploring outside

Tia Nena took these photos of Callie playing out front today. She likes to kick the ball to play soccer and loves watering the plants with grandpa.

Tonight we had another meltdown at him at bedtime, full on screaming and kicking. I'm sticking to my guns, we don't scream and hit so she got no books at bed and I put her to bed screaming until she could calm down. Once she calmed down a bit I went back for a snuggle and to sing a song for regular bedtime but still no books just like I told her. I reminded her that we don't scream and kick and put her to bed quietly. I'm hoping my firm and simple method works but so far it's already challenging.
