I needed a mental break.
I needed to step away.
My child needed to be, well, dare I say, A CHILD!
I had been working diligently, between projects, and household chores, to fill every crevice of his brain with letters, numbers and logic. I overwhelmed him and almost took the joy of learning from him.
He is a bright bulb; he glows on his own, as he is a curious, questioning child. Needless to say, I need to step back and let him breath. He knows his alphabet, can count and can even speak to me in Spanish, what more can I ask for?

He’s going to be three soon and it’s comical that a year ago, when he turned two, he stopped wearing pampers.
He had an occasional accident, but for the most part, he was pamperless, wearing “big boy undies.”
And then…it happened…we reverted. Christmas day, he got gifts of all sorts and I got a shock. He just decided he was NOT going to wear underpants anymore. In fact, now only did he decide to wear pampers, but he the temerity to tell me which type he wanted to wear. I wanted to try pull-ups, but he had another plan. He was going to wear plain, good, old-fashioned pampers and that was all there was to it.
So, his birthday is coming up. I’m going to try again. Say a pray; I have a feeling I’m in for a bumpy ride!
