Ethan
You have become very verbal.
You like to cuddle. You waited
for me for 45 minutes by the front window while I was at the library studying
for my MBA class. You are learning, and
hearing me when I ask you to change. You
had been grabbing people’s personal space.
I kept putting you in time out, but it didn’t help. I explained how it made Rose and I feel, and
you finally stopped. It did not happen
this morning. I was carrying you this
morning, and as we turned off all of the lights you told me that you loved me
and put your head on my shoulder, I told you I loved you too and gave you kiss
on the cheek. You are such a sweet
little boy, when not being crazy. We
still need to work on you hitting when you get especially upset, but you are
improving.
Rose,
You have been very needy lately, and I struggle to be
patient with you at times. I have
started verbally stating when I am frustrated, so that I don’t yell. It’s interesting that you have started
parenting Ethan, letting him know he should say that rather than hitting. You do such a good job sharing with Ethan,
and being kind to him. I enjoy the times
we spend together. I can’t believe we
will be visiting St. Mary’s soon to get ready for you to start preschool. I remember vividly the fun times we had when
you were little. You have always had the best laugh.
Love you both,
Mama
