Our little Stitch turned 6 yesterday.
We celebrated by playing with him, watching Curious George as a family on the couch.
He likes chocolate chip cookies, so I got a giant one as his cake.
He licked all the icing off, and is saving the cookies for some unknown future time they may taste better, I guess.
We’ll give it another day. π
Then we opened presents. Grandpa Curran would have gotten him the Nintendo switch he asked for.
His retired elementary school grandmother, however, got him a bunch of Lego sets and a remote control car. All good choices. He spent a few hours building with his dad and brother.
We got the second bookcase built, and between playing and reading, I got most of our books put away and organized.
Between my last post and this one, I was reevaluated for Bipolar Type 2, at my request.
My current medical treatment is helping tame my too-big feelings, and get more sleep.
I hate that I can’t get along with my siblings. And I’m getting better at staying present with my family, and cultivating the life that best serves us and our contrary needs.
