Learning to control emotions

The other day was the first experience I have ever had with Avery where she tried to control her emotions. She was sitting on the kitchen counter as she usually does with me in the mornings. She helps me cook and watches me while I am in there. She squeezed a napkin out over my coffee cup. I too sharply said "Avery, NO". She smiled at me trying hard not too cry....and then the tears and the sobs followed. She is learning and hopefully so I am to remember that she is 4 years old and curious.
