The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Hey, fellow BGWers--do you recognize those stairs?

So, I started my morning with a conference with Liam's teacher and the assistant principal. He wasn't in trouble, but they wanted to discuss a few behaviors that they're worried could become problems in the future.

• He's a perfectionist.
  
• He's stubborn.
• He's rigid in his routine and hates having it thrown off.
• He has a melt down (or as his southern-fried teacher says, "pitches a fit and caterwauls") when he doesn't get his way.
• He always thinks he's right and is extremely difficult to convince otherwise.

I don't understand it. I mean, where would he get those traits? I don't know anyone like that. It's a mystery.
