Well, I just had to write quickly and say that my Little Man is the sweetest boy ever. Today we are watching a neighbor’s son (two days older than LM) while she is having a C-section. We’ll call him Jake. Jake is not much on napping or staying in his room for that matter, so I knew that quiet time would be an issue. However, I decided to do things like we always do at our house, but allow Jake to be in the room with LM. Jake cried when I left the room with the two boys on the bed reading books. I decided to keep going and see what happened. I walked into the living room and heard Little Man say, “It’s okay, Jake. Don’t be scared; I stay in here everyday. I’m here with you. You’re okay. I love you very much. You’re Momma will be back. She had to go to the hospital and have your baby. Don’t cry or we can’t play outside. I am here with you. God is up in the sky, and He will take care of you. Say, ‘Yes, sir’” No reply. “Say, ‘Yes, sir now!!!!’” I then intervened. I think that he was trying to make it all better. He just got a little too big for his britches! He’s quite a bossy one…I don’t know where he gets it from!
Precious! Glad to have a post from you! I’ve been lost not knowing what is going on in your life. Sorry I didn’t get to call you back after phone tag the other day….maybe we can talk soon!
