"I don't want a pull-up on! I won't potty in bed so don't put a pull-up on me anymore!"
Good morning, love.
My kisses are refused; wiped off.
I give them anyways.
I offer milk, he wants water. I offer Daniel Tiger, he wants Ninja Turtles.
I oblige.
He hits a sibling.
I discipline. Too loudly, probably.
And I hate it and I love it and I miss his baby-ness and I miss his freely given hugs and kisses and I want him to stop.growing.up but start growing out of the stubbornness.
I'm sad for the times I'm angry with him because he can't help being a threenager. But it's hard and I'm tired and I love him all the time and so very much.
We survived the sleepless, colicky baby days and nights. We will get through these tough days too.
