Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ailleann, I'm so sorry. Gah.
Of course, there's a balance to be drawn and when my players get hit by a ball I know they're as much shocked and scared as they are hurt. And it hurts plenty. That's something that I always acknowledge and validate with them. But it's usually not damaging and that's kind of the distinction. Learning to deal with painful things that aren't really injurious. Not more than a bruise.
That's a valuable lesson.
We've (so far) been pretty good about this balance in toddlerdom. I notice Lillian's a lot better about picking herself up and moving along than babies whose parents react with alarm any time they take a tumble. She's learned that you may slip and startle yourself, but it's not worth making a huge fuss over, because we react calmly.
Of course, amusingly, I'm a Big Huge Baby when it comes to anticipation of pain. I swear, I wasn't growing up.

I just left three messages about apartments just now, and we have an appointment to re-look at one tonight. We rescinded our offer on the apartment we decided we really didn't want.

Parental reaction is key with toddlers. Some parents never seem to figure it out. If the child is really hurt, he or she will make it clear before they ever even look for you. If he or she is mostly frightened and not so hurt, s/he'll look to see how you're reacting before s/he reacts. We used to (cheerfully) shout things like oh-oh, or woah, or safe! It usually brought on the giggles, instead of the sobs.

Good luck, sj. I can't wait until you find yourselves a nice, new place, where you can actually relax and feel at home, when you're at home. This has gone on so long.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Howdy! Miss me?

Thanks, Cindy. I really want to get this all done and settled so that we can have our notice to our landlord in the mail in plenty of time for them to receive it on the 15th. I just want this done so I can focus on the packing and moving thing.
