Our first fight.

Dylan has been in the habit of pulling my hair lately. He's always played with my hair, twisting it etc. But lately he's been pulling it and it hurts! The other day I turned around and pulled his hair back! He looked at me in total shock. After a few seconds, his shocked face slowly turned to a very sad face and then he started crying. Meanwhile my heart was breaking. He wouldn't let me hold him, which is VERY rare. He only wanted Da-Da. Scott calmed him down and after what seemed like a million years (it was probably like 5 minutes) Dylan finally wanted me to hold him again. He came back and apologized to me for pulling my hair. I apologized to Dylan as well, even though I'm not 100% sure I needed to since I was trying to teach him a lesson. But, Scott convinced me that we were also trying to teach him that if you do something wrong, you apologize. Blah blah blah. I was just glad my little boy was letting me love on him again. He still pulls my hair occasionally, (I don't think he even realizes he's doing it half the time.) but as soon as I ask him to stop, he stops. So, do I call that a lesson half learned? I don't think it's fully learned until he quits pulling my hair completely. We'll get there someday.
