Cleanup gone bad
Sometimes Ezra likes to sing a little clean up song while he cleans up his toys, or helps to clean up some other mess that’s usually been made with his help. It goes like this: “clean up, clean up, everybody clean up! clean up clean up everybody clean up!” you can repeat those verses for as long as it takes to clean up the mess. Tonight, the thought of cleaning up a mess sent Ezra off into temper tantrum land. No clean up song was sung, and we nearly ended the evening with tears and crying. Fortunately, another song helped end the night on a better note - a happy and lengthy version of “wheels on the bus” brought Ezra out of his tantrum and helped settle him down to go to sleep.
