Understanding
our children and what actually goes on in their heads sometimes, is something I
feel develops very slowly with time; there are some days when I look at my 3
monkeys and think will I ever truly understand them or know what goes on inside
their heads…
Out of my
3 kids, Gabriel is the one I look at like this most often, when he zones off or
when he does certain things. I am not
sure why sometimes people tell me it is because he is most like I was as a child
which doesn’t surprise me as our birthdays are only a week apart calendar wise
and we do share many characteristics, even though you would think similarity
would mean that you share a better understanding with the person / child
involved but nope that is just not how it works with the 2 of us.
To be
honest Gabriel has always been more of a daddy’s boy- whether that is due to
the fact that unlike Loghan he received attention from his father as a baby and
spent more one on one time with him as their father and I split when he was
just a few weeks old I cannot say for sure but whatever the case Loghan has
always been more of a mommy’s boy and Gabriel has always gelled well with his
dad, lately however Gabriel has changed he has become very mommy orientated- I
am not complaining at all- I love it, and the last few weeks have brought with
them many heart felt moments of hugs, kisses and I love you’s that were very
much needed- yesterday he told me I was his favourite favourite… how sweet is
that, I actually stopped what I was doing to give him a hug.
Often I
feel so terrible because I am so busy rushing around I don’t get to properly
focus on all these precious moments… but my kids have my heart well and truly
every inch of it.. ok my hubby too but they are truly amazing and I hope that
for Gabriel and I this is the start of a wonderful road of understanding us as
he said to me this morning… look at me
mommy really just look…. Well I am looking my boy and what I see makes
me ever so proud!
