what good boys do

Nicholas has been so happy, so cooperative, such a joy lately.

We are loving every minute of it (and hoping the move to our new house this week won't mess him up too much).

Today, he was all about telling us "what good boys do."

Good boys:

wear their Church clothes (he usually throws a fit when I try to dress him for Church)

sit quietly during Sacrament meeting

go to Nursery class

play with friends (he's been pretty shy in Nursery so far, but today the teachers said he talked to everyone)
wait patiently when Mommy is busy

help Mom make "corn and pea soup" for dinner

dump their corn and pea soup in the sink

eat their chicken and rice and peas and corn

eat three cookies
play the piano with Mommy

stop screaming and running when Mom tells them to

get ready for bed when it's getting dark outside

and tonight, after Nicholas said his bedtime prayer (he's finally coming out of his recent "no pray!" phase) Kent told him that it was an excellent prayer.  

We said "goodnight" and then as we left the room Nicholas whispered happily

"Good boys say excellent prayers."

Thanks for being a good boy today Nicholas!
