As Luke and I were on our way home today, he realized that he had left some papers at school. Luke started crying and was so upset. I kept telling him that it would be OK and that we could get them tomorrow. Nothing soothed him. Once we got in the apartment, he was in complete hysterics. He was crying so hard that he started throwing up! Man, those must be very important papers!
Morgan helped to calm him down and get him cleaned up. I think that Luke was just so tired from school that these forgotten papers was all that it took to send him over the edge. After his nap he was more rational and willing to wait until the morning to go back to school and find the papers. Otherwise I was going to have to find a way to climb in through the windows at school in order to get a moment of peace.
Luke likes to show me his papers each day when he gets home from school. Yesterday he came home with a toilet paper tube craft of Goldilocks. He was so proud of it! He really likes to do dot-to-dots now and he is trying to color more. Coloring is not his favorite activity! He would rather peel the paper off of the crayons or turn them into lightsabers. However he is trying now to color more of the object and even use different colors. He is also starting to write his name. I am so proud of him!

There has been way too much puking at your house as of late!
Sounds like what Hyrum went through tonight although we were able to get him to calm him down before the puking began. What's up with these kids getting so worked up over small things. I guess it also has to do with being super tired. Poor little guys they have such long days and are processing so much information it must be tough to feel so small as well and try to make themselves heard with the all of the grown-ups. When Hyrum gets himself really worked up I always try to see things from his perspective. It doesn't always work though since most of the time his fits cause me to have a fit and then we are at each other. Oh to be able to maintain a house of peace! It's such a struggle some days!
I agree with your friend Corey.
Emma would have done the same thing as Luke... but without the puking...
but then again I guess she did leave her show and tell home yesterday and she acted like it was no big deal... so maybe they grow out of it... crossing fingers... crossing fingers :)
