I’ve written and deleted paragraphs about how exhausted and overdone I feel more than once this morning already.
As I resist the urge to just whine about my emotions and my busyness, I’ll show you some fun strides Sol has made!
My mom brought paints over yesterday. Dekker opted out, but the other kids were eagerly in there. I could show you what everyone painted but Solly’s stood out the most to me. Firstly, I think he is finally handed!
He hadn’t chosen a dominant side during kindergarten, and I was starting to carry some concern. He wasn’t ambidextrous. He wasn’t doing especially well with either side, and I didn’t want him to fall behind. Thankfully, he seems to have finally settled in to being right handed, and it was evident as he painted. This first picture is a slide. 👆 Can you see it?
And these are a rainbow and a house. With his name, written with the S facing the right way!! 🥳
I’ll miss the little backwards S but I’m sure it’ll still make some appearances here and there 💜 Its sad to see that cute little stuff go, but development and growth is always a positive thing!
Except if its a tumour… 😬 #whoops #cancerjoke
I’m very proud of this little guy. I have seen so much growth in him already this school year. He is more independent. He is more confident. He takes more time to work on things. Last year, if he had been chosen to throw a pie at someone at school, he would’ve curled up in a ball and cried. I kid you not. He crumbled under pressure. And while we all do that sometimes, it is clear that he is coming into his own, and it is really fun to watch.
