You are starting to show signs of the dreaded middle child complex. I understand completely. The middle child thing is something we have in common.
Lately, when I give your sisters a compliment, you become jealous and ask me why I never say those things to you. I know it may not seem like I say those things to you and it's hard to hear someone else being singled out for doing something well, but I do encourage you too. It may not seem like I do, but I do.
The other day when you said that I never say nice things to you I told you something that I'd like to record for you to read later. So here it is:
Drew, I am proud of you every day. As long as you continue to make choices you can be proud of and do things in your life that make yourself feel proud, then know that I am also proud of you. You are a spectacular person so you don't need me reminding you all of the time how great you are. You just make yourself proud and that will always make me proud of you.
So, Mr. Drew, I don't want you to grow up to be the kind of person that is constantly looking for feedback from people around you. I want you to do your best, work hard, treat people with respect and kindness, and know that your mom loves you very much.
Much love,
Mom
