Oh my Eli! I love you despite the turmoil of not so nice words you have said lately, and despite your fussy whiny attitude. I love you even though some days I just want to not discipline you because you are just driving me crazy and instead I would like to put you in time out for 10 hours. What has gotten into you little fellow? I love you when I have to discipline you in ways I wish I did not and I love you even when you call me a bad mommy, which makes me cry. I love you even though you make some ugly faces at me and I love you when you say you are sorry and give me the sweetest hugs and kisses ever! I love you my little boy and I am so thankful that the doctor said that your little chest is alright and that is just how you are growing. Boy, I worry about you. But I know you are God's little boy before you are my little one! I love you Elijah Blain Phelps, if you only knew maybe you would be more pleasant to mommy and her feeble attempts to discipline you with love!
AHHH...sorry things are tough!
what is wrong with his chest??? Hope it goes better soon!
I hate to hear he's been misbehaving, but I must admit: it was slightly comforting to know you are going through the same thing I am over here!! I know these kids can be so sweet, but it must be the 3 year old in them coming out. I don't know what else it could be. Boy, it sure is challenging though. I'll pray for you!
What's up with his chest??
And boy, do I know what you mean. I feel as if Bergen and I are at odds most every minute of every day. And it seems to make little difference if I do discipline or not so it is definitely discouraging. Sigh. At least we're in it together. (You will NOT believe this, but I just had to stop typing to discipline Bergen for getting out of bed for the umpteenth time)!!!
Part of his chest the left side is sticking out farther than the other side and our Pediatrician said that it is just how his skeleton is and how he is growing and it is normal, sometimes kids get that caved in chest and sometimes some sides grow a bit and then the other side catches up. So that is what I know! Just wanted to get it checked out, ya know! Today I had promised to take the kids to Chic fil A for lunch and to play and Eli had to miss out on play time there because he fussed at swim lessons today. Poor kid, he will get there I suppose. So will mommy I suppose!
