Little man is in his own room!

Daughter has moved out and though that brings a sadness to me, the house is MUCH calmer.

We got the little man set up in her room and it's looking so cute so far!!! I have stuffs up on his walls, his bed, table and chairs, toybox, etc. in there. It's full of blue's clues, scooby and sponge bob...LOL. There's alot of Pooh on the walls too. It's a cartoon theme room.

He was thrilled. I said, "Now, when Jessie comes in you can tell her it's your room now and make her leave like she did you." He said, "Oh, no, mom. Taytay can play with my toys. I'm a nice boy." AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

So, how did he do the first night when he's slept with me every night that he's been here? He slept ALL NIGHT in his own bed!!! He got up at 7, came and got in bed with me and then slept until 8:30. My baby boy's growing up and so confident and feels safe and secure enough to make the changes he needs to now.

I'm soooooooooo proud of him. Papaw helped him to learn to lift "one, two seats" on the pot and "make that hole yellow"...hehe. Now there's no more pee on the seat and all over the floor. LOL.

He's so precious.

night two he slept all night again as well! i'm just so proud of him.

he went with his parents for seven hours yesterday and came home "hyped". his room helped to calm and focus him.

he had a scratch when he came home and first thing he said was, "mom, it's gonna go away?" my brother said he wouldn't let anyone look at it and that "mom would". he's so much more secure with who's who in his life and shows it.

I think my boy's gonna be just fine.

he sure knows he is loved by you and his papa!

Yep (((((((((((((elaine))))))))))))))))) thanks!

last night when they brought him home (early cause they wanted to party ) we weren't home yet and he had a fit when they pulled out because he wanted "his papaw". hubby is more active with him than he was his own. it's cool to see.

he has TWO highly involved parents, and two more that he loves...

KD, do you feel the difference? Between your childhood, and this one?

Isn't it a joy to know what matters most?

We may have been through stuff that we still don't yet comprehend, but....BUT, we know what matters, and what doesn't. We are the experts on that.

And, as a side effect of that "treatment" you're giving him, you heal. You heal, too.

Hugs,
Lar

thank you (((((((((((((fuzzy))))))))))))))))

what you say is SOOOOOOOOOO true. yes, i do get healing within myself knowing that i'm allowing for a child NOT to be raised as i was by someone who was raised in the same house as me and an expert on the treatment himself.

this little boy knows that he wants to be seen AND heard. at three and a half i still rock him to sleep to attempt to give him the nurture and show that love and protection outside of getting on him throughout the day. i just want him to know he's loved and protected and doesn't realize the meaning of the word "abuse" in any form until he learns about what it is in school. i want so much for him.

with my own children, i did what "felt" right to me even though i'd never learned it. i knew what was right because i'd always longed for it or seen in it another household. with this little man i have to remember what he might be experiencing in the atmosphere of the home with parents in the short visits and go the extra mile to "make up" for it if i can. don't get me wrong, there's no abuse inasmuch as spankings, etc. what he sees, the dynamics there, is what is affecting him at this point i believe.

he has a calm, structured, scheduled life here. there it's totally different with no structure and actions by the adults in his world that are scary.

thanks so much for understanding.

KD

you really should be proud of all that you have accomplished with little man....he's so lucky yo have you kim....

((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

thank you. i'm the lucky one in this. he's brought me more healing at a time in my life when i needed it most. there are no words...

cycles breaking everywhere...

KD,
I am filled with joy that Little Man, has you and your hubby. I child needs that kind of love and attention,they need to be a parent's priority, and that's exactly what you both are providing for him, and that is just beautiful.

"cycles breaking everywhere"

It's not very often when things getting broken is the best possible outcome. But this is a superb example.

Blessings on you and yours, KD.
