I am soooo proud of you. You are amazing. You are literally having your best year yet.
At 4 1/2 I finally let you stop taking naps. It wasn't because I didn't think you need them. It was because we had a discussion and you understood. I told you if you didn't want to take naps anymore, you would have to be able to control your body for the entire day, which meant no tantrums. You totally got it. If you even start to have a tantrum, all I have to do is remind you that is why you need a nap and you reign it in.
You continue to excel in karate. I'm going to keep you in this for a bit because it is enhancing your general athleticism, but YOU are a natural. You're the smallest but fastest one, most agile one. I love watching you. You are so impressive. I like seeing you proud of yourself. :) I see m
y skills in you. Believe it or not, your old mom was once the starter and captain of the varsity basketball team. I did this despite being in any leagues, playing politics, or sucking my up to the top. I was really just good. You are that too. You will be that too. I can't wait to see what sport you pick because you are going to freaking rock it.
You're also very inventive and innovative. We have been on Fall Break this week, and I posted two things already that I just loved about you.
The first was that you haven't yet mastered pumping your legs to swing.....so instead, I look at the window to see you have fastened a bungie between two swings, and your sister was effectively pumping and swinging for the both of you! You have good problem solving skills!
The second was in the evening. You had a "real" screwdriver in your hand, and you were underneath daddy's footrest on the couch with your hands "fixing" it.
You have good "fix it" skills.
I have to be somber for a moment Jace. Family is family for a reason. Our blood is our blood for a reason....and family MUST stick together.
Ashlynn has many strengths too. She will love you unconditionally, because that is who she is. It is a gift in this life to be loved unconditionally. Not many people can do that, and not many people will do that for you. In return, I need you to love her, understand her, and accept her...unconditionally. You need each other. Family needs each other. It is a two way street. You bring your talents to the table, and you give them to each other for the greater good. Please be that for her Jace. You are already capable and I'm so proud of you for that. You're amazing, and I love you. Please always return that love.
Love mommy.
