You make me proud

(Warren, I should have started writing this a long time ago. I'll fill in on your younger years as time goes by, but for now, these are my notes for you.)

Today you attended your friend Kaden's third birthday party. You had a wonderful time and enjoyed your friends very much. You didn't even complain when I split your cupcake to share with a friend who has dropped theirs in the dirt (I should add, it was my fault she dropped it.) When it was time to leave, you had a bit of a meltdown, because you just weren't ready for the fun to end. And, somewhere in between, you made me proud.

Your friend Kaden had an awesome toy. It was a bicycle that hooks up to the TV, and you pedal and steer it to play a game. You so badly wanted to ride, but you waited while Gracie rode it. She played for a while, and not once did I have to ask you to wait your turn. You just DID. I hardly realized how well you'd waited until another friend wanted to get on and you declared it was your turn. I hadn't realized how PATIENT you'd been. I've got to say, I was very proud that you didn't pout that your friend Gracie had a turn to play first, and that you didn't lose your mind when the another friend was starting to get on after Gracie. You showed restraint despite your emotions, and that is something to be very proud of when you are three years old.

To top it off, you put yourself to bed early tonight. I liked that a lot, too!
