My little parker has been charming the pants off me.
Despite a very nasty eczema flare up with icky crusty scabby bits he has been happy and, mostly, without temper tantrums. My boy is very passionate. He feels everything to the extreme. Anger, frustration, love, joy.
He takes me through my paces on a daily basis. Making me breathe deeply when he throws things in frustration or hits me because he can't have his way. My goal has always been to help him learn how to express himself without having to resort to aggressive outbursts.
It has been a tough road. He is not there yet. But slowly, he is learning.
The bonus of these extreme feelings is his snuggly lovingness. If i toss and turn in the middle of the night he will sit up and give me a kiss and rub my back. If he sees that i am sad he will reach up and grab my hand. He, absolutely, cannot start the day without several minutes of giggles, tickles, and kisses.
When he is sick he asks me to go to bed with him saying "it makes me feel better."
He loves his family. Every morning when the kids get ready for school he gets sad and asks me if they can stay home. We spend our days together doing errands, cleaning and hanging out at the school. All of it is just biding time for him till he can see his siblings again.
He is such a lovely little boy. I feel so happy to have him in my life.
