Alex is without a doubt mischievous and some times just straight up mean but the one good trait he has developed is good manners. He is quick to say please and thank you and it is noticed by a lot of people. So that makes a momma and daddy happy and proud.
One day Sandy sent us a message saying that Alex was the first to finish his lunch and without being prompted said, "Sanny, scuse peas" which is his way of asking if he could please be excused.
Sandy is without a doubt one of the main reasons he has such good manners. She does a great job teaching the kids manners and patience for which I am very grateful!
Another day she said they were sitting down to eat and Alex climbed into his chair, took a look at his plate full of food and popped a grape into his mouth (one of his favorite foods). Sandy quickly said, "Alex I need you to fold your hands for our prayer" and without missing a beat he took the grape back out of his mouth, laid it on his plate and folded his hands.
It's moments like those that give me hope he might turn out to be a good boy after all. Or when he runs up to Matt or I for a hug or kiss without being asked, it just melts your heart.
Yesterday we got to Sandy's and he was excited to go show Knox his ball so he started toward the playroom and before I could say anything he came back and said, "kiss mommy" so I got my hug and kiss before he went to play. He can be the sweetest little boy sometimes.
