Reacton Paper

These first three chapters of this book has made me think about a lot in my life, but most of all has made me think about my sons' life. How the decisions I make in my life are going to affect him. Am I going in the right direction to make him a better man in the long run of things?

Am I going to make the same mistake my mother made of being way to over protective and not give him a life of his own? Am I going to compromise on important things in my personal growth just so he can have a father figure he deserves? I have a plethora of doubts in my mind, and sometimes that scares me

He is a very good and loving child. I try to help his mind grow at the pace I know it can. He is only two years old and can say many sentences, count to five, and knows some baby signing. He has a wonderfully bubbly and funny personality. I just hope that the choices I make don't squash that totally.

It has become very noticeable that he wants to be more independent. He won't let me feed him anymore. He is always taking the lids off the sippy cups so he can drink right out of the cup. He is figuring out that some of the foods that I give him he doesn't like and some new ones that he dose.

He has been more helpful as well he is always trying to sweep, or give me the things he thinks I might need or want. He helps bring in groceries with his grandfather, or will help grandma put on her shoes when he knows she is leaving. He also won't let you out the house without a kiss and a thousand goodbyes.

I guess that a big part of my own personal growth is shaped and molded by him, and that we are going at this life together mother and son, hand in hand. If he falls ill be there to pick him up, wipe his tears, kiss his cheek and tell him he is ok. Yet I know that that too will only last until he is older and yet again is starting a new stage in his own personal growth.
