Less than a month

It has been less than a month since my last post and our world has grown anew. Spring has refreshed our lives and rejuvenated my emotions. OK, well, I guess I should say, some great moments have happened to give me hope that we will all grow to enjoy each others company.

Decker recently had his Spring Concert for school and during the song "Skidamerink", Decker would point to me whenever they sang, "I love you!" And I have it on video, so I can go back to that after one of our fights and remind myself that when he isn't PO'd at me, he does harbor some love for me. Tonight Decker wrote Hannelore a little note that said, "I Love you" on it.

OK, this was good. So, Decker kicked Hannelore in the head. Instead of screaming at him (my first reaction), I listened and found out it was an accident and he was really working hard to get away from her instead of hurting her. So, I acknowledged that and let him know that he was working hard to solve their problems, and hopefully helping him feel proud that he was controlling himself.

Aw, how quickly moods change, lives change, and feelings change. We always say, "oh, it is just a stage, they will outgrow it." When really everything is a stage and it will change in a few minutes. Whether and how often it changes back is what you have to look out for :D
