That kid is really funny. And it's- hmm- rewarding, encouraging, heartening, I don't know quite the word I want- but I know he actually listens to what I say. Not that he always obeys or does what I want or seems to pay attention, but he hears.
After the other day when he told me he didn't appreciate my attitude when I sent him to his room.....
Yesterday he wanted me to take a nap with him. I was making him draw on my back and couldn't guess any of the things he was drawing. He told me, "mom, it's ok if you're a bad guesser because I still love you and I think you are a smart girl."
He hears me. He absorbs what I say. Eventually my words will make it from just hearing to doing. Maybe that's enough for now.
