Amidst lots of craziness around these parts of late, Sir O has really stepped up to the plate. He's started surprising me with his empathy, thoughtfulness, and capacity for self-containment. He's still thoroughly a preschooler and a boy, and that's just as it should be, but I'm getting glimpses at the person he can become, and it makes me swell up inside with pride. (
good pride)
He's taken to coloring with fervor, tucking his stuffed animals in at night, and taking a keen interest in keeping his brother pacified.
He's been making me feel like my job is do-able, and that there are short-term rewards for me while I'm in the trenches. They're just moments, but they're wonderful!

Is he even giving Renn a ride on that tricycle?!!? :D
i like this post.
i also like good pride.
Um...can he tell Kennedy about some of these improvements? I think we're regressing, and most days I'm wondering how I can survive being a mother of a daughter who leaves me and runs outside while I'm in the middle of checking out in a store (I know, why DID I take her shopping with me, anyway?). So it's good to hear that maybe someday I might feel like we're progressing! It's a good thing to know better stuff is coming, right?
And he's growing into such a handsome boy. He has lost all his baby-ness looks. Sad, but still adorable. Graham is lucky to have him as his big brother!
I love this post. Gives me the warm fuzzies. Love you all!
