Mommy happy?

Cameron's paying more attention to emotions. When he does something wrong and I send him to time out, he cries a little, stops and then asks: "Mommy happy?"

I tell him no and that I'm actually mad. That turns Cam into a ball of tears. When he proves himself a changed boy (I usually expect an apology for what he did wrong), I tell him I'm happy. Then he smiles.

We also play a game where he tells me what emotion I should do and we make our faces look mad or sad or happy. You should see Cam's mad face, it's very funny.
