there is goodness and sweetness too

After the post I wrote last week about Caeden's being so strong-willed, I wanted to add...He's not like that all the time! He has some moments of real sweetness, and even snuggles in him if you catch him when he's sleepy or while watching a movie or reading a book. And recently, he's starting telling us "I love you!" many times each day, which of course we love!

We are working really hard on being consistent with our words when disciplining him without emotion and not giving in. I think we are already seeing a difference. When he is really tired and upset, he will say, "I'm not gonna obey you!" but, he is learning to choose to obey rather than receive a spanking or some other punishment.
