How to turn around a fuss bucket
Tonight I turned fussing around with a joke I heard fussing so I asked "is that a fuss bucket I hear? Are you a bucket of fuss?" much laughter and "YES"

Depending on why he's fussing I can turn his mood around with a funny face and a tickle attack or a giant squishy hug - we've also done the "ROAAAAARRR" the grumpies out and once he starts roaring I jump and make like he scared me which gets him laughing :) Miss you!
