George is in what I call a "trying phase." He seems to very deliberately be testing the limits and trying my patience. Sometimes I wonder how such an angelic looking child can be such a stinker! He has been a bit of a grump the past couple days and I was feeling like I needed to take a quickfire parenting class to learn how to get him to mind, have good manners, and stop hitting and kicking at me. Well, then I picked him up from school today and learned two things:1. "It was so cute today. One of his classmates fell asleep on the floor and George just went over and started rubbing his back," says his teacher.
2. A mom stopped me and shared, "I've been meaning to tell you. When I ask Lane who her friends are at school, she says, 'I really like George. He is a sweet boy.'"
With my head between my knees I was quickly brought back to reality that I do have a sweet son, and no, he is not turning into a bad kid, just developmentally going through what he needs to.
Maybe I need a time out....
