NOT INSOLENT - AMM - CLOUD 9 SPOTLIGHT
Here's one of my layouts from the Cloud 9 Spotlight for AMM.
Journaling Reads: Many two-year-olds are disrespectful. Many two-year-old boys are insolent. They don’t call it “the terrible twos” for nothing. And you have your share of difficult moments here and there when what we want you to do really doesn’t mesh with what you want to be doing. But you are never outright disrespectful. Even when you want to do something else, you wait for a cue from us that it’s okay. A few weeks ago, we were visiting San Diego and sat down at this café for some water. You saw a rack filled with candy and wanted to pick them all up. When we told you to not touch and to come sit with us, you moved away from the rack but you didn’t leave the doorway. You stood there staring at us and looking mad. When we asked you to come sit with us, you said “Nooooo!” but you didn’t walk back to touch the candy either. Every few minutes, you’d walk closer to the candy and we’d tell you that you couldn’t touch it. You’d make a sour face but you’d also walk away. We played this game back and forth for a good twenty minutes before you gave up and sat down with us. David, I can’t tell you how proud of you I am for being such a wonderful kid and being so nice to your dad and me. I know it must be hard to have someone tell you what you can and cannot do all the time and you’re being a complete angel about it. Even when you get angry, you still come and give us kisses and hugs. I don’t know how we got so lucky but I want you to know that we are fully aware of how rare you are and how blessed we are. Thank you, my son. Thank you. November 04, 2007 | scrapbooking | share[]
