I Might Be Doing A Good Job Afterall...
Our 6 year old son is growing into such a wonderful thoughtful child. It is these days that make me realize that I might be doing a good job after all on this whole parenting gig. I love being a parent. I love being a mother. To me, there is no greater calling. Sharing things that I never saw coming makes my heart melt.
For instance, today we were shopping for Easter supplies and our 6 year old brought his own money to buy some cards. He had some change left and his 2 year old brother saw the Barney riding toy on the way out the exit so our 6 year old gave him 50 cents to ride it. Later this evening after our 6 year old's soccer game, each player got a snack and a drink. Our 2 year old didn't understand why he didn't get anything so our 6 year old shared with him then just ended up giving him his entire pack of Scooby snacks just because he wanted to.
In the early days of parenting both boys, it was pure chaos. In the past few months our son has grown and has transformed into such a caring and smart little guy. However, the boys still have their days of arguing over every little toy like there isn't enough to go around. But these moments, the ones I spoke of above, they make the arguments and pure chaos seem so far away and much easier to deal with because I know they wont last forever.Labels: 6 year old son, child behavior, thoughtful 6 year old boy

What a thoughtful boy! It's such a good feeling when your children, who need to be given so much, begin to give to others. He's really growing up and he sounds like a wonderful boy.
Awwww that is so sweet. At my son's soccer games, they always give Peyton snacks and a drink too so he don't get left out. Sounds like you are doing a great job!
I love that he shared his pocket money... what a sweetheart!
Sweet kid girl...you've done good!
