Baby guy is turning out to be quite the charmer. He and Mei Li recently attended a Young Women's pool party with me, and he stole a couple of teenage girls' hearts there.
He's also getting a little feisty, which I don't always appreciate, but it's funny some of the time.
Monday night, Steve and I put Mei Li to bed and then played with Stephen for a half hour. We wait until Mei Li is asleep to put him to bed. We sang a song to him outside of their room, and when it was over, he willingly leaned over to give his Papa a kiss. I happily puckered up for my kiss, but Stephen just looked at me with his face full of attitude and said, "What?" He was not asking for clarification. It was like the "what" in the question, "what are you looking at?"
Me: Can I get my kiss?
BG: What?
Me: Kiss?
BG: What? What? What? What?
Finally, he relented. My feelings were hurt, though.
Dear Baby guy,
I'm sorry if I did something to offend you. There will be times when you won't like me, especially when I tell you not to do things or remove you from "fun" (dangerous) situations, but everything I do is because I love you. So so so much. I'm so grateful to have you in this family. You are my angel.
Love,
Mama
