Monkey is such a joy! He brings me in some Duplos and as I sit here playing with him he tells me that he loves it. He kisses it and I promptly drop it only to have the "sword" break apart into fifteen pieces. What is most wonderful is that he didn't get mad that I dropped it and broke it! Now he is telling me that I need to "click x". For some reason his favorite letter on the keyboard is the letter x. If I am talking to someone on instant messenger he will insist on helping me. (I only let him help when I am talking with Spencer or my little brother. Spencer as his dad takes it in stride and KC just laughs.)
My mom came out to visit me Saturday. She brought my sister Danielle with her. Danielle probably shouldn't have made the trip with mom because she had her tonsils out on Thursday. I might be seeing a lot more of Mom. I am the closest to Grandma out of Mom's kids and it is going to be tough on her as they try and figure out what do do about her now that Grandpa has passed away. Grandma is losing her memory. Her doctor told her that it was just circulation problems, but the way Grandma is so easily upset makes me believe that there is more to it then that. The anger is the hardest part. I wish I could do more for Mom then being a place "closer" to Grandma (even if closer means just two hours drive difference.)
I am doing better now that Spencer is home. Last week was extremely hard. My emotions were all over the place and it seemed everytime I turned my back on the kids they were into something they shouldn't be. I am going to sign Monkey up for pre-school this year. I hope he will enjoy that. I also hope that having the challenge to learn will help him to explore his creativity in other ways beside with peanut butter.
