the difficulty in raising an "spirited" child (and by that i mean intense, ultra sensitive, volatile, draining, moody, chronically cranky-- sorry, i'm all out of euphemisms, folks) is that one moment you're watching the kid be absolutely delighted by the discovery of a big puddle outside the library, and you can see how thrilled she is about the possibility of leaping over it...
and the next moment you are trying to tame and soothe a ferocious, wailing 20-minute meltdown as a result of her tights getting a little wet in that no-longer-glorious puddle.
sigh.
