kindle

 

     B asked for a kindle for his birthday back in April.  I didn't think he was ready for one, as his siblings got them at 8 or older.  Then several months after his birthday he was still wishing for one so I found a nice used on.  He had some particular idea in mind about the cover and he tore the one I made off, and now the kindle is lost.  Yay for 7 year olds.  He's also been lashing out and hitting a lot.  We miss the little sweet guy he was.  But with age comes new emotions and frustration he has to learn to master. 

    I saw a meme that raising sons is like breaking up in slow motion.  This is certainly true with B.  He used to be so affectionate but at 6 he stopped liking hugs and kisses.  He is particular about who and how he is touched, which I certainly respect.  It's his body and he is is in charge of it.
