I knew the day would come. I tried to fight it as long as I possibly could. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea of my boys becoming more self sufficient. The thought of one day not having to prepare 3 meals and multiple snacks a day excites me. I just wasn't ready for it to come so soon.
I was having a particularly challenging afternoon with Ethan. He was hungry. I wasn't in the mood to hear him whine. Everything I offered was met with irritation on his part....and mine! So, after 30 minutes of back and forth banter, I got to the bottom of it. He was hungry and angry that I was offering to make him a sandwich. He wanted to do it himself. After many deep breaths and fighting the urge to critique his pb&j sandwich making skills, we survived! Not only did we survive, we exchanged high fives and hugs....and a lecture on why you don't lick knives.
So proud of my little man. *sniff*
