June-ism

I realized that I need to start documenting the cute things that you do!
Now you are all into babies...saying hi to them and making sure that they get their milk.
You are giving "nurs mil" to everything...i wish I had a photo of you walking down the sidewalk giving a pine-cone and then a baby rock nurse milk. It is so amazing watching you nurture others.
We had a great Thursday afternoon...you didn't nap long so we went to the beach. I had nothing so you ran around in your diaper and sun hat- shared other children's sand toys and splashed in the water. It was exactly the type of mom that I would like to be and we were just in it- listening to each other and getting our needs met. Nursing you on the park bench with you naked and the sun out, but us under a shady tree was just perfect. Then i didn't have an extra diaper so you pee-peed outside like a dog and I put a panty liner in your onsie...like I said nothing could have been better.
The next morning you saw dad- you ran to him and almost cried, which made both of us nearly cry. It was a great weekend with the 3 of us. We had a nice Shabbat dinner- still one of your favorite things and spent our time just playing. You acted up most of the time dad was home, but I think it was your way of letting us know how confusing and frustrating this is on you. I know that it is hard on both of us, so I am sure that it very hard on you. I just hope that through this you will learn that our family is always there for each other no matter where we actually are and that change may be difficult or maybe you will learn to embrace. I just can't wait to see who you become, but DON'T grow up too fast!
This morning I dropped you off at school and you waved and said bye bye and then napped at school like it was no big deal. No pacifier or anything- then you said no thank you while driving to swim school...every day you are changing and I feel so lucky to be part of your development.
