Hot Soup

Tonight's tears brought to you by hot soup. Kai took a bite, it was hot he spit it out and ran for Kleenex and drank water.  He was reminded to test if it was hot.  He wiped his eyes and did the exact same steps all over again.  Zero hesitation to shove the spoon in his mouth.  More tears, more water, more Kleenex.  He sat down and spewed a whole mouthful for a third time.  We gave him permission to give up.  He scurried to the toys in the basement on his forth round of tears.  Over soup that was just warm to the rest of us.  Some days take way longer to end than others.  Keeping it real.
