Psychotherapy Anyone

Amanda and I are getting older and grumpier. I've been in Japan for a week so Amanda is tired and I'm jet lagged. Last night we sat down for dinner and really got after each other. The kids provided some perspective.

Maya said,
"Now first mamma speaks"
"Ok, now you dadda"
"Now mamma, do you understand dadda's viewpoint?"
"Dadda, do you understand Mamma's viewpoint?"

"Now you both need to stop talking and eat dinner"

The kids were right. We needed to take turns, understand each other's viewpoint and shut up and eat. Julian has also done very similar therapy with us in the past under similar circumstances.

Oh, yeah did I forget to mention that our psychotherapists are 3 and 5 years old?

We'll get them some toys this weekend. They're beautiful kids and God knows we need the therapy.

You are still successful. You have them and you have eachother. That is the most beautiful part. :) Can't wait for my turn in life...
