Instigator

This little boy is something else.  He is either all sweet or all trouble.  I have been grateful for a few days in a row of sweetness after a really bad week last week.  One of those days, Steve had him for the morning.  I had an amazingly peaceful morning with the girls, doing school, chores, etc.  They minute he came home it was like unleashing the dragon.  Fights were breaking out, crying, etc.  Incredible how much power a little man can have.

Last night we had a sitter.  Pamela is here often and loves the kids and they love her.  When she was putting Aaron to bed, she prayed for him.  He told her that she did not pray right, it was too short, not long like daddy.  He also told her that he would show her how to pray and had her repeat after him.  Thankfully she got a bang out of his little attitude and went along for the ride.  We had a good laugh out of that one.  Especially b/c Steve neither 1.) prays long or 2.) does "repeat after me" prayers.  Don't know where he got that from.

His sweetness this week has looked like a lot of hugs and "I love you, mom".  Also made my day when he said, "Mom, you're so pretty."  Raising him has been an adventure thus far.  He certainly is made out of different stuff than my girls.
