There was minimal yelling, only one major crying episode, and some actual sharing and saying please.

I usually try to follow the Waldorf inhale-exhale rule on days off but I couldn't get him out of the house yesterday. <BR/><BR/>I finally got him out around 4:00 to bike ride...then I couldn't get him back in!
