School Update

Sean had a sassy mouth this morning, so I was anxious how his day at school would go. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I saw Bruce bringing Nathan today and my heart sank. At the age of 3, Nathan and Sean do not get along. When I picked him up, I asked Miss Christy how Sean was doing and what was going on between him and Nathan. She said that Nathan is the aggressor with Sean and Sean has thankfully used his words to stand up for himself instead of pushing. However, whenever, I walk into the room, Sean becomes the aggressor with whoever happens to be nearby. He is testing me to see my reactions. Miss Christy said that Sean is very smart, but has a very short attention span. He can pay attention when he is interested in something, however. He still has not used the potty at school or at home. I can't believe that he holds it in for 4 hours at school! I think he fears change and does not like the underwear. I have to learn patience and believe that he will potty when he makes up his mind to do so.

After Sean's nap, we went to ride his bike and I discovered that he has added some new phrases to his vocabulary. He told me that "Daddy almost forgot that", which means "Daddy must have forgot that". He was thirsty after his bike ride and after his juice he said, "That's so much better" and when he saw the neighbor's dog, Brownie outside, he said, "he's a brown dog or maybe not". The "maybe not" was so funny!
I had promised Sean a "tractor" ride, but it started to thunder and then we had a storm, so he didn't get to ride. He was upset, but Kenny and I distracted him and he soon forgot, until this morning....to be continued...

Being 3 is Hard

Well, Sean had school today and it wasn't one of his better days. Miss Christy said that Sean hit Mason (his bf) and made his little scrunched up mad face at her. He refused to say he was sorry, but tells me that he will say he's "vewy sorry" on Thurs., so that he can get his carwash as a reward!

He was worn out after school, so I let him take a 2 hour nap which means he'll probably be up late tonight. We had to bring Kenny his insulin since he will be working all night on a big case and then, I decided to go to the grocery store. This was not a good idea with the mood that Sean has been in today. There was a lot of kicking the cart and telling me "no". Then, for some reason he cried all the way home.

One bright spot for Sean was that Daddy had some belated gifts in the car from MeMe (Sean's godmother). Sean opened one and it was a huge canister of Play-Doh and cookie cutters, etc. to use when he plays with it. He liked this a lot and it kept him busy.

One bright spot for me was on the way home. After he finished the unexplained crying, a song came on the radio. You guessed it...another Britney Spears song. He asked me to turn it up and I listened to him sing to it. He actually hummed along and said some jibberish. I think he likes the beat of the music. Do I have a future rockstar on my hands? Tomorrow, is another day and things can only get better :).
