Transition

Mommy picked up Oliver this afternoon.  We worked on transitioning.

Here is why sometimes we have a 

tough time transitioning- Oliver

and his Dad do things that are

very male centered:  

Showing Mommy how he climbs 

the rope swing.

Using his muscles.

His Daddy showing Oliver how to climb.

(Mommy knows someone who 

can do it better.)  Sorry Daddy, true story.

Go Oliver Go!

Snapshots of a boy's life.

He also wanted to show Mommy the rings they use.

Peg board.  Oliver uses his

muscles to pull himself up 

with the pegs.  

Mommy is glad that they have a lot of neat

interests that they can share together.

Sometimes she does worry a little though.

Sometimes Oliver and Mommy

tend to ram their heads together

on Sundays, because Mommy isn't

a big fan of all this guy stuff.  

Mommy tries to calm him back down.

So, here is our transition today:

Can you tell where we went to eat?

Usually Mommy starts with feeding

Oliver something.  Lately mostly at home,

but today we were both hungry for a cheeseburger.

Mommy got Oliver a neat hat today.

He is able to tap into his fashion

side with Mommy.

He was super hyper and wouldn't stop taking

pictures of Mommy.  

(Mommy was annoyed and hungry.)

She told him to stop.

He finally did when they called

number 66.  It was sweet that he 

got the food for us.

Nourishment in many ways is important

in our transitions.

One form of nourishment is talking about 

whatever made Oliver happy, excited, sad,

hurt, angry or whatever while he wasn't with Mommy.

Today we checked in together and talked about

his new book!

Super cool!

Mommy shared her books about Theodore's niece!

Oliver was excited about all of our books!

So, true.

(Hmmm.)

Mommy is glad Oliver is home.  Goodnight and sweet dreams.
