He is quickly learning what we do and don't want him to do. If he does something wrong he quickly says "I'm sorry" in the sweetest little voice. I have not dealt well with the changes in my pregnant body and being a good mom. Lately I've been able to slow down, talk a little softer and be a little more patient.
Seeing things like this...
would have gotten a vastly different reaction a couple of weeks ago. Now I see that my short attention spanned son got distracted while on the potty, realized he's not supposed pull the paper all off the roll and did his best to fix it. He really has such a strong desire to do good.
Even though I haven't been a great mom hopefully I will be better and remember what I've learned. I feel so blessed to have been given such a sweet little boy to take care of. Hopefully I can be the mom he deserves.

Good epiphany Gav.
I love the TP picture. It's nice we we can appreciate our kids attempts to be good. I just wish I paid attention to it more often. Thanks for the motivation.
It's so cute he even apologizes when it's not his fault!
At least he knows to put it back... that is progress!
I struggle with patience the most. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff - it just isn't worth it.
Although there are those days when I get really pissed about the small stuff...
what a sweet post. i think being a mom is a tricky thing, it has its ups and downs, but the important thing is that we are always trying to be better. for our kids sake. you sound like a great mom!
