DAY 14: 09.05.2020Today I am thankful for love. Cheesy I know, but think about it, where would we be without a loving hug from our parent when our emotions are high and we just need a shoulder to cry on, or when you have fallen and scraped your knee and all you want is for Mommy to kiss it and make it better? Without love, those actions would not be as comforting and powerful. Love can take those tears and make them sting just a little less.
At times, being the only boy, the oldest boy, intelligent beyond your years, an old soul, and being shorter than most, can get to you. The girls like to team up, to only play with each other, the things Ty wants to play, they do not. He feels ignored, left out, and he bottles it up. Making friends is not easy for him, he has dealt with lots of bullying, another reason why we chose to homeschool. Being the oldest, smart as a whip, he can be bossy and to be honest, a smartass at times. Lots of children don't really understand him. Many times I have wanted to go Mama Bear on everyone, to make others like my son, but I can not. Instead, I can hold him, love him, and explain to him that having a friend or friends is like working with a team, you can't boss them around instead decide what to do together. It does not help that he has no one to play within in our neighborhood, all the other boys are older than him. I hope that soon he will make friends at MMA and that soon he will have a best friend, someone to confide in, to talk to, that understands him. Until that time though, I will have my shoulder ready and my arms out for as many hugs and cuddles as needed.
