Jackpot!

I wanted to take a few minutes to express how blessed I feel as a mom to have a son like Shawn. Four days before his 2nd birthday he became a big brother. And for the past five months Shawn (as a whole) has been more patient, more kind, and more helpful that I could have ever imagined him to be. Only two times can I recall that he actually was jealous of Landon (or something Landon was doing.) And those two times did not end in a tantrum or a time out. They ended rather comically and we went about our day. Shawn may not want to hold his brother, or shower him with many kisses (most of which are posed). However, he holds a great deal of understanding and consideration for the needs of a five month old baby, a mom running around like a crazed monkey, and the fact that things can wait and it does not need to be "now now now." For two and a half years old I would say that isn't half bad ;) We certainly hit the jackpot with this little guy!

***Now, the next time that I am sitting this wonderful little boy in the 10th time out for the day, I will need to come back here and read this blog.***
