oh wow! thanks for sharing! I love that image you describe with your kids. It makes a lot of sense with our T's too. They are essentially trying to work themselves out of a job, and sometimes, it means making our own lunch...

It sounds like you have a super sweet 4 year old and that are training him well

Hope your wrist is healing well!

Thanks again for sharing <3

BG,
This is spot on. I love that you understand your younger son's fear and are able to be present and give him more reassurance.

One thing was incredibly clear last night when I said goodbye to my T. He was not happy about my leaving, but he was delighted and proud to see me set out to live my life. His letting me go was, in line with all his other care for me, about my needs and my welfare. As parents, we have to be true to the end, even when it would be easier to make our children's way easier. To do so is to cripple them for the life to come. In the same way, our Ts make demands of us, so that we become capable of living without them. Not because they want us gone, but because they want us to thrive.

BG,
You are obviously a righteous woman, because your prayers were VERY effective. Thank you!
