Last weekend we took Silas to Center Grove, a pumpkin patch and apple orchard with lots of fun activities and animals. It was so fun! Check out some pictures from the day.
Another proud parenting moment today...Silas is rockin' his manners lately. If he forgets, usually just a look will trigger a "please". I'm impressed with his automatic use of please, thank you, you're welcome, etc. Tonight I got after him for kicking the counter while sitting at the bar and told he'd get a timeout if he kept it up. There was an initial "growl" from him which I ignored but then followed a "Sorry, Mommy" and "I hug and kiss you". He ran over, delivered a sweet hug and kiss and again apologized. Awesome! These moments make me so proud!
There are so many moments that make me cringe at the sassy, nasty, loud attitude of a two and a half year old and I often wonder if we're making any progress in raising a sweet, caring, polite little boy. Thank you Lord for giving us glimpses of the underlying GOOD child and sweet boy that I know is in there!
