At 5:58am Xander got up, walked into our room and climbed into our bed to snuggle. This didn't last very long, because Simcha joined us, and Xander wanted to pet the kitty. Simcha then jumped off the bed. Xander was sad.
He told us he needed his diaper changed. We changed it. He signed "thank you" and was grateful.
Next was time to get dressed. He picked the blue shirt over the yellow one. He was joyous.
A minute later he got very upset when I said that he couldn't wear his winter boots in the upstairs carpeting. But he was mollified when I suggested his kitty slippers instead.
When we went to the bathroom to brush our hair, he climbed up the step next to the counter to wash his hands. He giggled with glee. This again turned into a crisis a minute later - he was NOT happy when we had to leave the water.
We went downstairs for breakfast. I asked what he wanted: he requested banana, eggs, and yogurt. Eating was great. But face-washing afterward was painful.
We did a puzzle. He couldn't fit one piece in and got very frustrated. I offered to help and his eyes lit up. We completed the puzzle. He clapped with joy.
Dropping him off at our friend's house, he saw Yasha and squealed. They gave each other hugs and immediately started to play with trucks. But when we left, we could hear him cry through the door.
All in all, it was a very typical morning.

Most people wouldn't even notice the moment by moment changes. They would just slough it off as how kids are. But you not only notice, you honor his emotions and his feelings. He's so lucky to have you.
Typical morning?? Yes. Typical mom? No.
Loving and missing you all,
Mom/Bubby
