My usual school time with my active 3.5 yo is often very trying. He really tests my patience. It’s definitely a character molding time for me. While we were doing phonics this evening, he got really antsy and truth be told, I was a little bit frustrated. Thus, towards the end of the lesson, my head started to tilt sideways and from that my boy interpreted my body language and immediately came up to my face and asked, “Are you having a tough time?” I was a bit startled by his question and answered him, “Yes, I’m having a tough time.” Then in a nonchalant way, he replied, “Yeah, I’m having a tough time too.” Somehow that conversation just makes me laugh and makes the entire school time all worthwhile despite my previous frustration.
