Nate has really grown. Never in my mind did I think I would write how he has tantrums, serious ones which he drops himself on the floor, cries alot and very clear about what he wants.
So the other day, we are sitted and he decides to drop his wipes and diaper on the carpet. I request him to pick them up and give me and he throws a fit and goes in full blown crying.So he tries to run to his aunty and I tell her no, he needs to learn to obey. All this time he is charged up and really crying and tries to get refuge with Samara and I tell her no he has to learn to obey. The young guy cried and cried. So I allowed him to keep quiet and reminded them that the diaper and wipes are for him to pick. Do you know he would stroll by them deliberately and when you tell him to pick he would say NO and even shake his finger to emphasise his no. I just thought to myself indeed folly is in the heart and the rod is needed to take it away.
After a while , I asked him to pick and give to me he refused. I got a revelation and asked him to pick and give his aunty and he did pick and give her. I tell you by this time, I was exhausted. I applauded him and disappeared upstairs to recover.
Never in my mind did I see this coming but hey he has to learn to assert himself and we must learn to teach obedience so despite the tantrums quite regular when things don't favour him, we are enjoying this young man and love him to bits.
Baby girl is having mixed emotions with him. She feels like they fight alot and doesn't feel like she loves him so much but we talked about it and she felt better because Nate always wants what Samara is holding..quite interesting phase we are in. When they sleep at 8p.m the peace in the house is so welcome.That is the journey of parenthood.
