The Lord has heard my cry. My sweet Chi has been precious, absolutely precious. How is it that when he is like this I can't imagine not being able to hold his sweet smiling self?
What's working right now? God. I have a new line I am using. "I won't throw a fit if you don't throw a fit." It can be changed to I won't stomp my feet or I won't be scary if you aren't. Anything like that. The idea that his actions can have power over someone else is powerful to him. He knew he had the power to make others around him miserable. Now he's learning he has the power to keep things peaceful too. I know ultimately that is what Chi really wants and he is pursuing that with reminders. I have only had to mimic the start of 2 fits. He was instantly startled and unhappy. I promised I could pull it together if he could ;) and he did. Thank you God.
I did gave another dynamic shift into play. Chi was good so Obee decided he couldn't be the good one anymore. Obee has always struggled knowing his place when we are happy with everyone. We were going downhill fast until I told him it was okay if they were both good boys because then we could have even more fun. I made sure to love on them both and Obee, so far, is accepting this logic.
I am thanking God for this time. I pray the peace will continue.
