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.
