I can't believe how much he's grown. He's matured alot in the past few months. Still fiercely stubborn, still our little introvert, but a whole lot more sensible. And most days, his sweeter side shines through, and I am so thankful for this little boy. His appetite has grown by quite a bit, and he has a really soft spot for chocolate and cake (as well as for our approval, and most days he tries hard to please). Almost five, and it seems like a short while ago he was still that tiny toddler!
PS: Thank you for the thoughts, comments, encouragement and prayers with regards to Lil J and his terrible twos. We're still having lots of night wakings and tantrums, so this blog would probably be a little quieter for the next few weeks as we ride out this phase. I've never prayed so hard before for my children! I guess its a reminder to us as parents, that while we have all these parenting books and philosophies, there is no set formula on how to bring up a child. Except to put him in our Heavenly Father's loving hands and trust that He would guide and give us strength to tackle all the challenges ahead!
Relying on God is my formula these days too as I've come to realise that my ways are getting me no where. And it's no coincidence that it's the message that I've been hearing these past few Sundays. Praying that you'll find extra strength for this season too.
