sweet!

B is a great big brother.  He is so patient with L and coaches him through entire phrases one syllable at at time.  He is such a sweet boy and I'm so glad he is generous and accepting about not being the baby.  When B was the age that L is now, L was born.  I can't imaging having a newborn!  Yet B was so little when he was no longer the baby.  I try and make sure to give him a lot of love still.

Tonight B figured out how to play the little keyboard book.  The book has pages with music and notes with numbers.  The keys of the piano are labeled with numbers.  I don't know how he's keeping track of what he already played because he can't read.  It's awesome.

B is so happy.  He is growing and sometimes he isn't happy.  He's very good at being sweet and polite though which leads to a happy mom that does nice things for him.  So then he is happy.  He's got the virtuous cycle down.

The other day he was in the kitchen and I was telling him to go out.  He stepped  on my foot and sweetly apologized "I'm sorry I stepped on your foot." as I shooed him out of the kitchen. 

His natural impulse to most situations is a meek reply.  I'm grateful for that propensity.
