This morning as I was getting Gpa dressed, I had to tell him several times to take off his shoes. I got frustrated and said, “We do this every single day.”
Then I remembered, he doesn’t necessarily know that.
If I could remember that he doesn’t remember, I’d be less frustrated. That’s the trick. I feel like I say everything over and over and at some point it should stick with him. But there isn’t a place in his brain for it to stick.
Even though I’ve said it over and over, he’s hearing it for the first time.
And just like I ask him why doesn’t he remember what I’ve said, why don’t I remember that he doesn’t? Why doesn’t that fact stick in my brain?
