Zeke has been in a funk the past few days, just not really happy with life. I think it might have something to do with the time change (we fell back an hour on Sunday here in California), what ever it might be I miss my happy boy. It's funny too because usually when he's cranky I can usually tell why, but none of the usual things are wrong. He's sleeping great at night, he's on his day time routine, we're getting out for walks so I know he's not feeling cooped up. What ever it might be he's bummed out and it's bumming me out.
I was talking to my mom about it and she told me that he might be going into another phase of development. Which makes since because he's just seems to be throwing a bunch of tantrum tantrums, and he won't let up until I give him all my attention. My mom thinks he might be testing his bounties, like cause and effect. If I scream my face off then my mommy will drop everything and come get me. I do live my life to nurture my son but I don't want him to think that he has to throw a fit to get his way. I'm thinking I might need to start setting bounties by letting him know that that is NOT how you get what you want. If you have any advice please let me know.
