Broken Sandwich

Tonight Jon brought home left over sandwiches from his New Patient class. Andrew wants to eat whatever we are eating but the sandwiches were just too big for his little mouth so Jon decided to be a good daddy and cut the sandwich in half. Andrew had such a fit and was hyperventilating from crying so hard. We tried to explain to him that he could still eat the sandwich but he just kept on screaming, "No, it's broken." We let him just cry thinking that he would either fall asleep or just cry it out and be OK. That did not work, so after about 1 1/2 hrs. of him bawling he finally says, "I want Papa" which is grandpa. So we called grandpa as fast as we could. Aunt Lisa answered the phone and Jon immediately asked to talk to Papa or Mimi. Sorry Aunt Lisa but we just needed him to stop crying. So Mimi got on and talked to him for a little while and of course wanted to make things better so said if she was here she would make him a new sandwich that wasn't broken. Then she got Papa on the phone. Andrew absolutely LOVES his grandparents, but him and Papa just have something special so when he heard Papa's voice he really calmed down. Papa told him to just eat his sandwich which to that Andrew cried, "No, it's broken." So he never did eat his sandwich but talking to his grandparents really calmed him down. THANKS PAPA & MIMI!!!! So if you child is upset about something just try to call the grandparents. It worked for us, but we also have the best grandparents ever.
