It was easier today. I'll admit it. Gusi slept really well last night and while I hold my nose at his regression in toilet training, I remind myself that he is improving each and every day.
I dropped him off at preschool and spent some time with him as the children walked onto the playground. I gave him a kiss, two actually, and then said that I'd be back later. He played quite well. I walked to the reception area and made sure he was signed up for soccer class. My son, in soccer class. I can't believe it. He's just growing up right before my eyes. I thank God and my husband for giving me the opportunity to see all of these special moments up close.
Yesterday after all the tears Gusi got a Thomas-the-train Echo Tunnel. The most expensive Thomas-the-train toy the toy store had. Guilt? Yes, definitely, but magically washed away when I saw his face light up while pushing the echo buttons on the tunnel. Today I've gotten him a puzzle which I hope he enjoys. But today, I also went to have a chai latte (with soy milk, yum) and read a magazine after I dropped him off. Then I got a pedicure. It was relaxing and took my mind off of the somewhat lost little boy on the playground that I left just a short while ago.
I'm starting to remember that list of 1,001 things and hope to get to three of them today. This won't be so bad after all. I just hope Gusi's day is going better as well.
