we've had two days without a major tantrum by mia. unbelievable. we even went out with Yume and Daichi (3 and 1.5) today for a walk along the river. Mia almost always has some kind of sharing problem with Yume (who is more quiet, but more stubborn and willing to hit than Mia).

Nope, no problems. Mia was an angel during the walk, during the sliding and swinging, and then on the way home. Yume had a meltdown, but not Mia.

I can't tell you the perverse pleasure I get from watching another 3 year old have a screaming fit when Mia is doing okay.

usually its the other way around.
