aaahhhh

I have a problem.  There is a person I really don't care for and I come in contact w/ this person every week, multiple times. I often think about what I don't like about said person.  I do NOT want to think that way anymore.  I'd like to like this person but at the very least not be bothered by this person. I have acquaintances/friends who like this person so I should be able to, right? What do I do to change my thinking?

Luke at 5 months


Wittle Wukey is a little over 5 months.  Here are some things about our love bug.

-Immediately rolls over to belly when placed on back.  He'll rotate 360 searching for chew toys.
-EVERYTHING goes into his mouth.  I don't remember my other boys doing this so young.
-He has started sleeping on his belly.  I put him on his back and usually he winds up on his belly sleeping.  Again a first for us.
-He likes rice cereal!  A first
-He just started taking a bottle.  Woo hoo!!
-He goes down to nap much easier now.
-He still wakes up once in the middle of the night. 

I can't say enough about my little bugger.  I adore him.  Today I was holding him and took him over to see Travis and Harrison.  Travis made some goofy face and Luke grinned with his whole face and then buried his head in my shoulder, almost like hiding.  Then he'd look back at Travis, Travis would make a face and Luke would grin and bury his head again.  When Travis stopped and continued eating Luke just stared at him waiting for Travis to look at him again.  I said, "Travis, look."  and he'd make a face and Luke would do it all again.  SOOOO cute.  I can not believe it's been 5 months.  SLOW down

Harrison is 3

Harrison understood this year the excitement of his birthday.  I over spent on him but it's justified because last Christmas and his birthday I didn't know what to get him so I got him things that Douglas would like too.  This time I just focused on him.   He isn't into specific things though so I had a hard time deciding what to do for his cake.  We saw these one eyed monster plates at target and he liked them and I thought it was easy enough so I made a cake like that.  We also started the tradition of having balloons for how old you are with a dollar in each.  So he had three balloons with a dollar in each of them and he had to pop them to get the money.  He loves all of his gifts.  We got donuts for his breakfast too.  Overall it was a low key day but he enjoyed the attention and celebration.

Harrison is something else.  He's cuddly, happy, loud, and moody all at the same time. He loves to play with Douglas.  He smothers Luke.  Often when playing with other kids he gets too excited and gets in their personal space, resulting in the other child pushing or complaining.    He doesn't seem 3 to me.  He seems less mature.  I think part of that is his speech.  ECI (early childhood intervention) cuts off at 3 so he qualified for speech at the school.  So he'll be going 2 days for 30 minutes each every week.  He is also starting joyschool (a preschool co op with 5 other kids) next week.    I can't imagine life without him.
