I love my son

... well both of them, yes. But I meant the first born in this story....

Yesterday at the park I needed to get Matthew to leave. Normally this is a battle if he's not ready, he's NOT ready... I squatted down to his level and said "Matthew, can you listen to mommy for a minute?" he looked at me and put his hand to his ear (the sign for hear) and I said "do you want to go home now and get your new paints out?"

his reply: "OKAY!!!!!!!!!!" and he bolted to the stroller.

I got to the stroller, strapped him in and said "thank you for being such a good boy and not giving mommy any trouble right now."

he didn't bat an eye, and said: "thank you for the riding the slides"

LOL!
