He has to wear glass now AND play soccer? I am the meanest mom in the world!
We still haven't broken the news to Ethan that he will definitely be going back to soccer on Saturday. Me, my mom, dad, and sister all played soccer with him the other day and he had a great time. He's actually really good, too! I think once he gets used to it, he'll be fine. I refuse to let him be a quitter this quickly, though. I promise him, if he never comes around with this, I WON'T sign him up next year :)
In other news, he is doing fabulously fabulous and I just adore him. Every night when I come home from work, I have to FORCE myself not to crawl into bed with him. I miss him when I work. He waited months for this new Thomas movie to come out, so yesterday we had McDonald's together, then we went to Toys R Us to get it. He was SO excited! We also got his backpack for school. He picked out a Cars one. It's seriously half the size of him! I can't wait for his first day of school. I want to think of a clever way to take his first day of school pictures so if anyone has a cute idea, let me know!
I'm realizing at work that I am ridiculously patient with my patients, especially those with a history of drug abuse. However, I am ALSO coming to realize that if I am TOO patient with them, they will manipulate me, just like they probably manipulate many. Last night was the first night where I finally let them THINK I was falling victim to their "game", but in all actuality, I had the upper hand. It felt good. And I didn't leave feeling like I was walked all over all night long. The past WEEK, I have had at least one drug abuser and/or alcoholic, and they are exhausting patients to have.
