Millar,
This month you have shown us what a real tantrum is. We are all finding our surroundings challenging right now, so it’s no surprise. But boy! You are certainly asserting your independence and defiance with a new found vigour. Sometimes I have to hide my laughter when you do things like cross your arms and say “I don’t want to hear it. Ever. Again. I’m NOT kidding!!”
You don’t like people much. Especially new people. You used to be happy to talk to anyone and tell them your name and some random tid-bit of information. But here in India, you get annoyed with people touching you, trying to pick you up and chasing you. It’s not fun for you and you hide from people now and refuse to talk to anyone. I hope it’s just a phase and we are working on it. We are helping you say hi to people and shake hands and be polite, but we are also letting people know when to leave you alone. I can completely understand your need for some personal space though!
Your reading and spelling is coming along amazingly well. I am so proud of you. The amount of words you can spell and read far exceed my expectations of what you would be able to do at this age. You love reading and want to know what everything says.
You turn four next month. WOW! You are growing up. You often say you don’t want to grow up. You want to stay a little boy. You will always be my little boy, but neither of us can stop you growing up.
I love you so much,
Mum
