My daughter can name different fruits. She knows the differences between apples, oranges, and bananas. When did she get so big? She’s so darling, she really is. She always puts her face near mine, and nuzzles me. Oh goodness, it melts my heart. She learned that from me. I am constantly kissing her chubby cheeks and nuzzling her. She still has her baby smell.
My son is also very darling, and he is beginning to assert himself as a person, which I’m awfully proud of. He answers questions, and he tells us “no” and his favorite phrase is “no, I don’t.” I waited so long for his “no” phase. It’s funny, how when one is a parent of special needs kid that you take joy in your child using the word “no” so much. But I’m amazed, and very happy for him. He asks to use the potty often lately too, although he doesn’t go yet. He still loves mommy snuggles, at least, and I hope he loves them for a long time.
I have been coming to the library often lately to do work, or just take time to myself, and there are always lots of kids the same ages as mine here in the morning with their parents. I think they have a story time. I really want to bring my kids to the library, but I’m afraid of doing it alone. I bring them to other places alone, but it’s the library I’m afraid of. Thanksgiving break is next week for Jacob, and I think we should bring the kids on Wednesday. I’m not sure if he has Wednesday off or not, but I’m hoping he does.
Maybe I’ll come here without him anyway, I don’t know. I need to learn to be more independent. Modeling for the children and all of that.
It’s so windy out. It’s been cold and windy, not my favorite at all.
