Jul. 22, 2008 - Gebre-isms
Gebre's middle name is really "Gotcha".
I consider myself a fairly attached parent. We do the co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, stay-at-home mom, homeschooling, and all of that.
However, some days, I want to run away from it all. Last week I was having one of those days, feeling like I might just crawl out of my skin if anybody touched me, and there was Gebre, hovering around. "Mama hold me! Kiss me! Pick me up! Hug me". He tugged on my arm, touched my face, poked me, and I finally snapped at him "Stop it! Go find something else to do!". Bad mommy.
But he didn't cry, or pout, or have a melt-down. He just stood there looking at me with a sweet smile on his face and said: "I can't, Mama. I'm attached to you!".
Ouch.

This morning when I told them we were going to read "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", Gebre happily shouted "Oh yes! I want to hear Goldiblocks and the Three Squares!"
