At almost 3-years-old, Alex is funny, demanding, playful, energetic, and always trying to keep up with his older brother and sister. He loves to tease and rarely takes anything seriously - including scoldings or time-outs. It seems like the only time he holds still is to drink his juice (which he dearly loves) or to watch a Thomas the Train video (which he also dearly loves). He is exhausting and fun and crazy.So the other night when we were putting him to sleep I took advantage of the quiet moment to snuggle him. He curled into me on the bed, put his forehead to mine, and said, "Mama, you're perfect." Moments like that sure make up for all the rest!
