Will was taking longer going potty then normal. I heard the toilet flush a few times and I heard the lid slam shut a few times. I peaked in to see what he was up to.
"Ducky is going for a swim mommy!"
Will has just recently been expressing in very grown-up vocabulary his appreciation for me.
"Oh, mommy! You made me dinner?"
"Yes, Will, I made you dinner!"
"That's a GOOD job Mommy! Thank you!"
"Mommy, you make my bed all pretty? Thank you!!"
"What are you doing mommy? That's a good job mommy!"
My hope has been to surround my children with as much praise as there is discipline. I guess it is wearing off on him and that makes me happy. I have been coming to realize that I can use will as my borometer for what the spirit of our home is. He repeats everything we say, and it sounds so different coming out of his little mouth! On occasion I hear him threatening his trains to time-out and then shouting, "yes, maam, mommy!" at them. Okay, yes, we are trying to teach respect as well.

Well, speaking of them saying what we say...wait until he starts to bargain with it too! Yesterday Haydn sais, "Okay Mommy, You will obey me and I will obey you, Okay?"
