Jordan is a mini me, as I mentioned before. So he makes a great learning tool for me. You know how it is tough for us to see how we act b/c we are too close to ourselves. We all just with we could step back and see ourselves through another's eyes. Jordan is great for that since his emotional side is a lot like mine.
Today we took my son to Disney. I, personally had to go say hello to Tinker Bell today. Well, Jordan usually loves to go meet the fairies., but today he was not having it. He began to have a meltdown as soon as we saw Vidia. Luckily Vidia remember him from a prior meeting, so she knew he was normally really fun, snuggly and likes kissing them on the hand. She quickly began to tickle him, of course he cracked up. she Would stop to meet another guest, then later ran back over to him for one more tickle. Then it was time to meet Tink. He was a little better, more shy this time, not so angry and whiney. She got him to laugh a bit too, and before you know it he was in her lap, smiling. he still wouldn't kiss her hand, but what started as a meltdown ended in a smile.... all because of laughter. He quickly forgot about why he was upset and after we left he said he wanted to go see Tinker Bell again!
So what did I learn about myself? Sometimes I just need to laugh. quit trying to stay angry at something, move on and laugh with everyone, it might be just he medication that i needed to get over some things and move on in life!
