This weekend we went away to the country with the in-laws and SS4. I was very worried about how the weekend would go, given that SS4 has been a little monster for the last month. Our only vague hope was that SS would behave better in front of in laws. Miraculously he did! No more of the sulks, endless tantrums, and deliberate bad-behaviour of the past several visits. Instead we got the cuddly, happy, bouncy, generally well-behaved little boy that I used to know! I have no idea what changed in his little brain, but I really hope this lasts.
