I wouldn’t have predicted this. I went to pick up Simon today after our Very Bad Morning, and the minute he saw me he squealed with delight, ran to me, and gave me a giant hug and kiss. We went to a park with his friend Leah (and my friend Sharon), then came home and snuggled, napped, played, ate dinner, played some more, read stories, and sacked out.
At one point, he leaned into me and said “I love you, Mommy. You best friend.”
It was, but for ten minutes or so this morning, one of our sweetest days ever. Who would have thunk?
Parents are people after all. I went to bed many nights swearing that I would do better the next day. I never thought about the being on camera thing. Somehow you all grew up just fine, appear relatively normal, and seem to like me well enough in spite of everything.
