You are awesome.
You are inquisitive and caring:
O: How was your day at work mommy?
M: Bad.
O: Oh no! Why was it bad mommy?
M: The kids.
O: What did they do?
M: A bunch of bad stuff.
O: Oh no mommy. I’m sorry you had a bad day. When we get to
the beach, I’ll give you a hug and then you’ll be better.
(You were right.)
You are funny and observant:
O: This living room is not very special.
M: Why?
O: There is nothing special in it.
M: Sure there is. We have our comfy couch, your dollhouse, and pictures of
you and our family- there’s a lot
of special things in here.
O: No, there is nothing sparkly, or shiny, or special. It
isn’t special enough.
M: Well, what do we need to make it more special for you?
O: Glitter.
And sometimes you are mean...but in an innocent way:
O: Mommy, when I’m bigger and have a big butt, can I ride
your bike?
O: Daddy. I love you,
but only a little bit. Not much.
D: Why do you not love me much?
O: Because you always go to the fire station.
M: Ouch.
You somehow know which questions to ask in order to more fully understand what is being said. I find that to be unique in someone so young.
Continue to ask questions, to insert your opinion into conversations instead of being quiet with your thoughts, and to care deeply about others. These are gifts provided to you. Use them for good in the world. I'll try to show you how.
Love,
Mommy
