Christian keeps me busy, we all know that! As I keep saying his personality is great, there is no denying that but it can be VERY --- VERY --- VERY --- Challenging! Headstrong, independent, social, stubborn, curious, argumentative... Knows EVERYTHING and of course he's always right! All the things that will be great for him --- when he's older! But as a parent, it's very frustrating at times.
But along with those moments of frustration there are rainbow moments where he just shines. Christian can make friends anywhere, any time in a matter of seconds. It comes so naturally to him. At the same time he WANTS to make new friends.
I drop Christian off in school and, yes, I still walk him to his classroom. While there he sees a kid and tells me, dad that kid is new to the school and is in his class. After that, he walks up to him, points me out and then takes the kid "under his wing" (so to speak) to go out on the playground and play. In the past other parents have told me how appreciative they were of Christian for doing this. In preschool he did it with every new kid in the door and it really makes it easier for those kids when they are new to know there is someone there that will play with them and get to know them!!
Way to go kid!
