So, I posted today on Facebook a link from Gillette called www.curepity.org , and I found myself having to put it into practice today.
Grant has been playing with the neighbors a lot. Two little girls that are his age, and they play so well together! I heard him bawling and crying today, and I didn't know what was going on. Was he hurt? Mad? Why was he so upset? I ran outside to see what was going on, and he was furious because he wanted to ride bike. What do I do as a parent? Tell him he can't? Ugh.. I felt so sad for him in that moment (Boom... it hit me just like that... I felt so sorry for him), but I figured well, I can sit him on the bike and wheel him around. So that's what we did. He sat on the bike, and I pushed.
After he was done with riding bike, and we were both happy and tired, he was placed back on the ground to play. The neigbor girl came over to chat with him, and he started yelling, "Ahhhh, I can't walk! I need to walk! I'm not too little! Ahhhh! My legs are broke!"
Wow. He's such a verbal child and all his frustration poured right out. He's walking with the walker and braces in at PT, and I'm guessing he likes being up and about.
So, a little piece of my heart is a little bit broken for my little one, but I know he'll triumph. The kid determination. I can't sit and feel sorry for him, but I can encourage and support him.
