I had to sit down with Rowan tonight and talk with her about not throwing a fit when something happened she didn't think was fair. She had been playing Uno Attack with the other kids and Bridey, and when they all decided it was time to stop after an hour, she was very upset.

After I explained to her how she might want to learn to react, she said "Ok, but I'm not going to remember this."

"You're not? Why not?" I laughed.

"Because I have a short memory. I only remember really big things, like when Berit broke her wrist."
