We all try to teach our children the basics. Be safe, be polite, and be independent.
Be safe - We've gotten this part down. Jacob always holds our hand when in a parking lot or crossing the street. He loves wearing his bike helment. Heck - he even wore it in the grocery store once! He knows about safety.
Be polite - We're working on this one. He usually only uses his manners when he REALLY wants something. Please and Thank you's are coming along fine. He still doesn't like to say "good-bye" to people. He says that it makes him sad. I can't argue with him there.
Be independent - Jacob is a very independent kid. He loves to explore and has no trouble going to friends houses without me there. Now he is starting to pick out his own clothes! Big step.
This morning started off just like any other morning. Wake up - breakfast - YMCA -school, etc.
Jacob held my hand in the YMCA parking lot. Be safe - check! Before he got out of the car for school he said, "Bye, Mommy!" Be polite - check! I watched him go into school and realized that his pants were on backwards! Well, 2 out of 3 aren't bad! Right?

What a great blog, I love it.
Kat& Tod you are doing one amazing job on both Boys. :)
HAAAA!!!
Love it!
We got all the way to school last Thursday only to discover Molly forgot to put on her shoes. Guess we need some help with independence too!!
Maybe that's the fashion now, Kat. Don't be so quick to judge.
