Bad Day and the Broken Window

Long story short, we had a rough day yesterday. It included a temper tantrum in the library (luckily, we were in a closed off room), a 15 minute nap in the car with no success of transferring to the crib, more grumpiness throughout the rest of the day due to no nap, and a broken window. Yes, if you look at the pictures of Vincent sitting in his chair below, you will see one of the windows behind him is covered up with duct tape. This is also a rare moment of seeing him actually sitting in the chair, rather than standing and bouncing, or flopping around, or hanging off of it. As he was standing on his chair yesterday afternoon, he tossed his head back pretty hard (something he finds amusing), and then he ran to me crying. When I looked, the windown was totally cracked. Luckily, the only damage was to the window.
At least there are the sweet little moments thrown in during the rough days that help get you through them. For example, I was cleaning sugar snap peas for dinner & when I turned around to check if my water was boiling, I heard a crunching sound behind me. Vincent had climbed up on a stool and reached over the counter for a snap pea and started eating it, raw! He was so delighted with himself, and seemed to really enjoy his little snack.
