Boy, Am I Thankful!

I know that no child is perfect. Mine is far from it. He throws tantrums daily and gets mad when he doesn't get his way. It doesn't matter if we're at home, in the middle of the store or at a friend's house. If he's upset, he'll let you know.

But, I must say, after spending time with other kids, I'm truly grateful for my little guy! (Don't worry- if you're reading this, I'm not bashing your kid. This is about random kids that I've met.)

I know kids will be kids. But, observing Landon with other kids, I've noticed that he's generally polite. Even if they steal his toy, or hit him. I babysat a little girl this weekend that was very bad at sharing, and kept stealing everything he had. From his toys to his juice cup. Landon would just look at me and ask for his cup when she stole it. I made her give it back... which she threw towards him. Know what Landon did? Picked up the cup, looked at her and said "Thank You". That would make any parent proud.

And then, of course, later that day, he got mad because I told him he couldn't have more fruit snacks. So, he proceeded to throw his cup across the room and let the remains of the fruit snack that was still in his mouth fall onto the floor. We're still working on that :)
