This morning was one of those mornings. I saw it coming a mile away, but unfortunately there was no way to avoid the tornado of wrath headed in my direction.
Wesley has had a very difficult time adjusting to Zach being back at school, which has resulted in many tearful and mopey mornings around here. Any time Wesley is required to do anything he considers unpleasant while Zach is gone, it tends to tip him over the edge. Which brings us to this morning, when Wesley decided to throw a gigantic temper tantrum after returning from dropping Zach off at preschool, because I DARED to change his poopy diaper while his best friend was gone and unable to entertain him. Poor boy was so furious that he continue to kick and scream through the first half hour of physical therapy.
By God's mercy, Wesley had a change of heart half way through therapy after angrily marching upstairs to get his comfort burp cloth. From then on, he was such a sweet little delight. We have been working on riding his ride-on toy for months now, and today it finally clicked for him! As he grasped all of the intricate details of the motor plan required to maneuver his ride-on toy around the house, his joyful laugh was music to my ears.
Check out this video of my boy so proudly navigating his way across the room!

Oh bless his heart, so hard when older sibs leave them at home. Hope he gets used to it asap! Way to go on the driving buddy. Watch out world here he comes!
Wonderful! That picture is priceless. So sweet.
So proud of Wesley! I love watching his progress! Yes, having your best friend go to school is tough. We have that here sometimes as well. He will soon figure out time with Mom by himself is kind of fun too! :)
