My son just told me to have some patience! Hmmm. I laughed. This is something I say to him, a lot. He may very well be the most persistent five year old ever (I sincerely don’t think I am exaggerating). We just finished a board game, and he and his brother were going to watch a DVD. He went to pick one, and I asked him to help me pick up the game first. “Just a minute” (one of his signature responses in his signature tone - whine). I was about to retort when he followed up with, “have some patience”. After my initial surprise, I waited…patiently J He is listening and learning what I am trying to teach him! I am sometimes too quick to jump in with a correction, explanation, or direction. This is another reminder for me to listen more instead, so he can show me what else he has learned. Of course, I hope he hasn't listened to everything I've ever said! That might get us both into trouble.
