Billy's got game[s]
Ok, so I enjoy going overboard when it comes to getting Bean "things." This past Christmas brought more trains from Thomas the Engine, Leapster gadgets and Dr. Seuss books into our toy-filled home than I care to count.
I supposed it's due to my childhood experience of not getting any of the things I wanted--I definitely know the luxury of being poor. When my parents brought us to the US, they gave up so much of their old lives to start from scratch in a new country. Although, I am definitely seeing the brat-nightmare rear its ugly head. Time to sober up with my gifting habits...the inability to accept disappointment will hurt him so much more in the short- and long-term. Hopefully this is whole will-exerting phase will pass soon. He's a strong-willed little man, and it's totally challenging for me to put up a good fight while still being proud of his independent nature.
I love being Little Billy's mom.
