Now I hear from a lot of people that raising boys is a challenge. And boy am I living that challenge! He tests my patience to it's end- pretty much every moment we are together. My boy. Between potty training failures to his new non-eating any dinner to the pestering, whining, fussing, tantrums... Ugg! I could go on and on...
But today me and my sweet boy had a good one. While Jenna was off at school and Ashley was sleeping. Him and I just played- we played transformers, we knocked down blocks, we just played.
I know I play with him- I read to him. I feed him- try to feed him that is. But today...
And actually yesterday too. Instead of getting frustrated with him. I gave him a second, one more shot of the basketball- and then he listened. Today I even got him to take a nap. And he let me brush his teeth.
He is going to be 3 in 3 days. Feb. 26th. Maybe he is maturing? Or maybe I'm learning.
Whatever it was- I loved my day with my Bubba today. And I can't wait to stay away from the computer and play with him tomorrow!

Awwww.. so very sweet. Don't you just love those days?
I love those days! Sorry to hear you've been struggling with him, but these sweet moments make the rest of it just go away. I'm trying to start my days now by praying for patience...
I totally hear you! It's so hard... the struggle. I've been dealing with the same thing in a major way. But those sweet, precious moments... makes the rest of it just go away. I'm trying to start my days now by praying for patience... and to just enjoy them!
