Moe came... Moe went

Tuesday we got to bring Moe home to visit and stay the night. We had a wonderful time getting to play and just snuggle. He is getting so tall and he is the same precious Moe! He is a bit rougher around the edges now but very easily distracted from his tantrums and hitting.

He and Bear played together very well. Bear was even trying to "teach" Moe new things such as the alphabet. Bear can now sing his whole alphabet and he was trying to get Moe to sing it to. He would sing it first and then tell Moe... "you sing it". Or if Moe burped... Bear would tell him "say scuse me"... Wow where do we draw the line between training him up properly with good manners and creating a "teacher". I mean it is good that he acknowledges what is supposed to be done. But I don't want my child to be rude or bossy to others (even when they are not using their manners :)).

Basically he hasn't changed much in his developmental skills. He is kind of still at the wandering aimlessly unless you give him something constructive to do phase... makes me kinda sad to think that he does this elsewhere also but it is "the norm" there. But to each their own. Not everyone likes to "teach" their children each day. I don't either but it sure comes in handy later when you don't have to RE train them from habits they have formed by just doing whatever.



He is healthy and that is all I can ask at this point. When he first went home started refusing to eat. He has finally started eating again... a little here and there. When he came here he literally SCARFED food! It was good to see him eating though... b.c that is all I hear is that he will not eat. well he ATE... and then some!


We played out in the front yard for a bit then went to Target. It was interesting to have all 3 of them again toting them to and from the store. I never missed a beat. I remember that drill all too well! :) NOT hard... just a LOT of work, which I don't mind... unless I am in a hurry. I have learned with children you HAVE to slow down a LOT and just try and aim for everything an hour early! It has helped tremendously and you don't get quite as stressed :) or wore out!

I love my little Moe Baby and it was so wonderful to see him. I am welcoming this much needed break though. As long as I get SOME type of visitation... I am GREAT! :) I think it helped with Bear also. He doesn't seem to "miss him" being gone. Like he is not asking about him as much as he did in the beginning. I asked him after Moe left this last time, "wasn't it good to have 'Moe' come play with us for the day and stay the night with us?"... " 'Moe' is our good friend and we love him to come play and share our toys and room, huh?" Bear would just smile and say "yes". Then we agreed that Moe belongs with Daddy F and he went home. He seems to be okay with that answer; I have not heard anything else about it.
