This week was a busy one for this Mama, but Alex got to spend a good amount of quality time with Grandpa and Daddy. We were able to go to the school on Wednesday evening so Alex could play in the dirt. I am one of those strange parents that encourage him to play in the dirt and mud, and discover things. He took a picture of the grass (above), then one of himself. He missed me this week, and is very excited to spend time with just me today. We are going to make some slow cooker chicken and dumplings for supper, watch some movies, and then do his laundry.
I realized this morning that yes, Alex can read. He started reading me The Zax, and from my knowledge he hasn't been read that book enough to have it memorized. This makes me very excited, because he loves reading so much. He knows how to sound out the words, because he and I go through the "phonetic alphabet" often. I like being surprised by what my child knows. Every day he surprises me.
He is getting taller. Getting older. Getting smarter. I truly want to find things that are the best for him. But at the same time, my child has the amazing capability to make the best of anything. He doesn't really want much, he really could care less about a lot of materialistic things. He is very mature for his age, which I think is what makes it so difficult for him to interact with his peers sometimes.
Sorry this week's post isn't very long. I am still very tired from this past week. Hopefully I will have more fun stories and awesome pictures to share with you after the holiday week!
