Where did all this time go? Although Liam's terrible two's started much too early and stayed much too late, I believe he has really turned the corner. In a month he will 4 and he is changing every day (for the better) in little ways that I can see. Is it possible that now, once again, after two very tumultuous years, I'm falling in love with my little peanut all over again? He is the sweetest little boy. Hugs and kisses me all day long, tells me he loves me all the time, blows kisses at me when I drop him off at school (I know this will change so now I'll just relish in it), and at night when we put him to sleep.
His teacher could not be more pleased with him and the changes she's seen in the past year. From this shy little boy to now a little boy with friends, who uses his words, is bossy at times, more self-confident. I couldn't ask for more. Except more of the same.
I have to admit, we are a very tight unit in our home. It was evident the other day as the three of us somehow found ourselves, one after the other, in the shower together, playing basketball after a day out in the yard. Sometimes I wonder if we are too close and whether or not it would have been good to adopt. But now finally feeling some consistently good behavior from Liam we are finally feeling relieved. I'd be too afraid to take that risk and mess things up for any of us and watch him slide. At least I can admit that we don't want to take that risk and we are okay with that. Even at the expense of giving up my longtime hopes of having a family of four. I am slowly making peace with it. And while not all there yet, I am truly lucky to have what I have - a wonderful, truly happy marriage to the love of my life, my soul partner, and a child that loves me affectionately every day. To not consider myself truly lucky would be spitting in the face of the universe. I am a happy momma.
