Henry is going to be 3 this month. He is getting to be such a little boy and not a toddler. He really seems to be interested in his baby brother, and strangely always wants to see George’s dirty diapers. Other mothers tell me this is rather common. As excited as Henry is about his brother he has asked me several times when is George’s mother coming to get him. I tried to explain that I am both his mother and George’s mother, but he will have none of that nonsense, and argues that I cannot be both he and George’s mother. People who haven’t seen Rob in a while are dropping their jaws. This is a great encouragement for Rob, and he asks me every so often if he really looks as if he is loosing weight. I think it will take a lot longer for Rob to see himself as the skinnier, fitter man that he is today. His mind will take longer to catch up with his body. He and I can be looking in the same mirror, and he still sees himself as large despite the fact that he’s in smaller pants and belts. I can tell in the way he moves and just the way he carries himself that his body has had some major changes. He still walks like the weight is there but his balance is better and movements more fluid. He thinks I’m crazy when I tell him these things.
