Today Sawyer was on Dempsey duty whilst I worked on de-fleaing Lakota.
Amid Dempsey's verbal assault on Sawyer's ears, constantly touching
things he shouldn't, fussing because Sawyer told him "no" (& rightly
so), I kept affirming Sawyer.
"You're doing great, Sawyer!" "He's fine, he's not hurt, he's just
upset." "I won't be too much longer."
When all was finished Sawyer tells me, "I'm tired. This is a lot of work!"
I used that to show Sawyer that when Mommy and Daddy say we're tired
there's a good reason and he's just lived it. Nothing like experience
to teach lessons.
