crying

I just realized why Trenton crys/shuts down when he is upset....BECAUSE I DO IT TOO! Kenny and I have had a hard time with Trenton lately because when he thinks he is in trouble or if he thinks we are upset with him he will start to cry and not talk. Both of us could not figure out why he gets so upset when we want to correct him....other then thinking we are the big bad wolves of parents! Well today I figured out it is because I do it too. I was being questioned at work about something small and the words I heard were something negative and totally different and insetead of being able to talk it out I put my head down, couldn't look at my boss and started to cry....JUST LIKE TRENTON! I have never connected the dots like this until now. And I see Trenton's personality so much like Kenny's...really it is so weird...I have never thought he is like me in anyway! I am going to go home to Trenton and explain to him that its because of me that he shuts down and cries and that I understand his emotions. I just hope next time he cries, looks away and shuts down I remember that I do it too and there is not need to get upset with him over it, I just need to let it pass and then be able to talk to him about it.
