It is quite fun to go back and read old posts and see how little, or how much, has changed.
D and I are plodding along just fine. It's been two years since we met online and I wish I could say it has been easy, but my goodness it has not, lol. We have both agreed that we are tired of the 'on again, off again' relationship and that we are going to give it a good hard go this time. I may read this in 3 months and laugh and shake my head, but for now that is where we are at. One of the most important things was that I need to stop thinking that he is the same as me. I think we have proved time and again that that is not the case. He has asked only one thing of me and that is to 'just relax'. I laughed when he said that and hid my head, because I know it is true, I get so strung out about us sometimes that I turn my back and run.
My job is great for child observation. I am intrigued to see how different boys and girls are from a very young age, usually from about 3 yrs you can really see boys vs girls. By that I mean the gender differences. For example, when I have 3 girls and 1 boy around 4 yrs, the girls will flock together, will play pretend games in the cubby house and with the picnic food and may exclude the boy completely unless they are playing 'mums and dads'. The boy may go off and play with cars. I rarely see girls gravitate towards the cars.
