It’s not uncommon for you to demand a cuddle when you’re upset. In fact, it’s quite common. A cuddle is one of the two most frequently used strategies that you use to calm yourself when you’re upset.
The other is putting yourself into a timeout. You have has been in dozens of timeouts in your three years on this planet, but we have yet to be the instigators of a single timeout.
You always initiate it first.
Both strategies are great (and much better than your tantrum strategy, which never ends well), but I always prefer the cuddle and am happy to oblige.
Yesterday you took this strategy one step further by demanding a nuzzle.
“Daddy! Nuzzle!”
Nuzzle?
I can’t imagine where you learned this word, but I was more than happy to oblige.
