Rusty’s crying used to bother Ricky. He isn’t a big crier, usually just when he’s hungry or needs a diaper change, but there are times when I just can’t get to him right away, like in the car. Ricky and Billy would be concerned and I would try to soothe them by saying that Rusty was okay, he was just talking the only way he knows how. On Thursday I found out that it had clicked with Ricky.
It was my turn to drive carpool for preschool and the two little boys we carpool with are both the youngest in their families. Rusty was hungry and fussing a little bit. This really concerned them and they wanted me to do something right away to make Rusty stop. Then I heard Ricky sigh and say, “Rusty is just talking. It is OKAY!”
