3 vs 6

Sometimes I write little secret notes to my boys in my journal.  I never give the notes to them.  This exercise is to help me clear my mind and organize my thoughts.  These latest notes are an excellent example of the differences between a 6-year-old and 3-year-old boy.

A note to my boys:

Connor,
May you always keep your charm.  Be confident in yourself and try not to care so much about what everyone else thinks of you.  Be your amazing self.  Accept that there are rules in life.  It does not matter where you are, there are things we all just HAVE to do and sometimes those things just stink.  Suck it up and do what you have to do.  Enjoy your life.  Be more positive and dont always be looking for the ugly side of things.  See that there are small pieces of happiness all around if you will be open to seeing them.  Eat something other than peanut butter.  Food is amazing and delicious and you are SO missing out.  Learn when you can let your true feelings show and when you need to keep it together.  Get outside and run around.  It is good for you health and also for you mind.  Dont ever stop giving me hugs and kisses.  I love you.

Charlie,
Please keep your hands to yourself.  People will like you more if you do not sit on their heads.  You do not need to completely remove your shoes, socks, pants and underwear to go poop.  I love you.
