Three years....

Started this post a while ago but forget to post it.  Andrew turned three.  Our crazy Andrew who we were never sure we were ever going to get, turned three.  He loves life.  He wanted to do everything the big kids do.  He is mostly happy although is struggling at tiimes to get along with his little brother.  Probably going to be a life time struggle.  But for the most part they get along well.  Andrew is running all over and LOVES swinging on the swings.  He loves laughing and has this deep belly laugh.  He enjoys watching the "Mother Goose" on Netflix and can't go to bed without stars.  He recently has taken to wanting to wear his older siblings clothes to bed.  Speaking of bed he doesn't like to stay in his own room at night.He calls Victoria "Toria"   He has really been such a joy to in our lives since he was born.  The terrible twos were so terrible but the threes are starting to have some moments. 

We love our silly high energy crazy Andrew John.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
