You poor thing! You have had a rough couple of days. You got sick with diarrhea for a day. I filled you up with a bunch of stuff to help you, then you got a cough, then you ended up getting diarrhea again (because you were starving and ate pizza and I think it was WAY to rich for your tummy to handle).
So tonight you are in your room sleeping away to the humidifier and have essential oils all over your body, after having a day of just being doctored to death by your mother!
Some things you are really into right now are Pirates music (you love to listen together with Elijah - you love to do anything with Elijah), Thomas the Train puzzles, pouring your own drinks, being involved in whatever is happening with your older siblings, but when you need alone time you isolate and just take a breather and play by yourself somewhere so quiet that I can't find you.
One of the greatest blessings that you have given to me is the reminder that every single one of my children came with their own unique talents, capabilities, personalities and challenges. Because of how fiery and spicy a couple of your siblings are, I thought for a while that I was doing something wrong in my parenting. But after you came, and you are a completely different personality, the spirit whispered to me, "Andrea - they just came that way. You are not doing anything wrong. You are doing such a great job as their mother."
Sometimes I forget that when I am in the thick of it all. When the days are really long but the weeks are really short. When I'm stuck in a constant conflict and emotionally drained from hard days. But you have been a gift because you remind me of just being peaceful and happy.
Thank you for helping me with that. You teach me all the time.
I love you sweet boy,
Your Mom
