I know this is a time to be thankful, and I really, really am. Maybe I will get around to posting all the things I am thankful for, but right now, I am needing to briefly vent.
Xavier is a very inquisitive child. I am lucky that he wants to learn so much. I realize that when he is a sullen teenager or has moved out of the house, I will long for these days: I am the center of his world and he wants to constantly be with me and talk to me. I know my friend Joanne, whose son is autistic, would love for her son to ask her a question. Any question. Believe me, I count my blessings that I have a healthy child.
But, even the supermoms of the world will admit that sometimes, your child can drive you a tiny bit crazy. Xavier asks me to play with him, asks what letter fish starts with, asks what I am doing, asks for a snack, asks to play a game, asks where I am, asks what direction we are going in the car, and just asks. All day long. I love him with all my heart, but there are some days (like today)when I long for quiet. Eating in quiet, driving in quiet, using the bathroom in quiet, just quiet. I have been trying to pack and clean up the house today for our trip, which is probably why it is more frustrating than usual.
I know it is the age, and I do try to answer his questions as thoroughly as I can, but today his insistence and impatience is really driving me insane. Vent Over. Have a great Thanksgiving with your families!!!

I know how you feel. I had to make two pies and sweet potatoe casserole today. It took me three hours and many stops in between because Ava needed something or ask me something.
Ugh, I know how you feel even without either of them talking! I think about that a lot with Anthony, that I wish and wish that he would talk more but I know it can drive you crazy! He does ask questions sometimes, like he says "Driiiiiiink?" when he wants one and "Nuuuuuuuuuk?" when it's time for bed and his Nuk. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
