Having preschoolers is like constantly walking a tightrope of emotion. One wrong move and you crash and burn. Except it's not just a misstep that can cause a wreck, it's looking at them wrong. Or just looking at them. Doing something that you swear every other day they love but on that particular day it's enough to cause a complete breakdown. It's saying the wrong thing...which is usually followed by an hour of trying to figure out what the heck was said. 

So, in honor of the ever-shifting moods of preschoolers, here are the top 10 reasons my daughter cried this morning.

1. I didn't say "Good Morning" loud enough.
2. Then I said it too loud.
3. She asked for some lotion and I started to put it. I put it on the wrong spot. And then she wanted it off.
4. Her brother was looking at her.
5. My hair was down, she wanted it in a bun. Then the bun was not high enough.
6. Her arm was not going in her sweater the right way, "No arm! This way!"
7. Our dog was looking at her.
8. The placemat at the table was not perfectly placed on the edge.
9. I gave her the wrong cup for milk. 
10. I was looking at her.

And then repeat. It was a bad morning. But don't worry. It got better.

It got better after she went to bed and I got some wine.

**I wrote this awhile ago but never published it here. This list did make an appearance on my Facebook page. After a rough morning last week, I relived remembered it.**
