These days have been challenging of late.
…and I can honestly say…
Four and a half has been tough.
Challenging.
Frustrating.
Exhausting.
You’re growing fast.
Physically.
Mentally.
You’re seeking independence.
Changing your clothes at least four times a day.
Wanting things…
Immediately
Your way
Without compromise
…and anything that deviates, feels your wrath.
Tears.
Whining.
Crying.
…and the occasional all out meltdown.
And today…there was this moment.
You gave it to me.
…and I’m smiling now…because these times seem fewer in between.
You reminded me that you’re four and a half.
Growing in oh so many ways.
Experiencing so many things at once.
…and I need to remember that….
…and know that these times, like many others, will pass
…and I’ll miss both the highs and the lows.
I know this takes me growing right alongside you.
….and I’ll do my best buddy.
I promise…
