So Josh runs a small fever all weekend his cough gets worse and this morning he says.."see Mom if you just let me stay home on Friday I wouldn't be sick today." Guess maybe I should listen to him.
Now getting Brandon ready this morning..... we had a bit of a problem. He wants to know why he doesn't get to stay home sick. Well honey you are not sick.
Now for the way Brandon handles things, it is just amazing and strange. He was in my arms this morning and was smiling at me looking into me eyes and we had our foreheads pressed together and then he took his head back slightly and popped me on the forehead with his… not hard but not necessary. So I set him down and told him that you don't head bang people at all. He then would not look at me or give me any eye contact and when I tried to explain it to him he would totally ignore me and look away. He was very uncomfortable. So I pulled him back on my lap and held him and told him I understood he would be embarrassed and not want to talk to me, but that he had to listen to me so that he could learn how to do things and not be so silly. I then placed my forehead on his and smiled and he would not look at me and so I told him I would not let go until he looked at me and he did and had to smile and I said if you really enjoyed this moment you need to give me a kiss or hug and not head bang me.
It is amazing how his mind works, he wants to enhance the moment but he does it the wrong way or inappropriate way and that can get very tiresome and sad. But you try to make these moments work and improve the relationship for you and for him to learn.
