Yes Sweetie, Im here.
I think Brian is going through the terrible twos just a little late. Let him cry about going to school. (Once hes there, you cant hear him anyway) He probably stops crying within minutes.
As far as the food thing goes, next to the diamond saying, you know my favorite saying is Dont eat if youre not hungry. Id give him two or three choices and let him live with whatever he selects. I doubt hell starve to death if he changes his mind and wont eat a meal or two.
Love and sympathy,
Your mommy
