One Proud Mama

So the photo has nothing to do with my post other than it is of my sweet little guy.  I had one of those proud moments (rather two days) with Dallin this week. As a lot of you know, Russ is in China for a week. Before I realized which week Russ would be gone I had volunteered to help with a wedding and with a move. I wasn't quite sure what to do, but in the end I decided just to take Dallin with me. I was nervous because Dallin (like all 3 year olds) don't always listen and can act totally crazy and wild when he is excited. He was wonderful! We talked about what was expected and he remember what he needed to do. We were at the church for about 5 hours and didn't cause any problems. I helped in the kitchen a lot, so he had to eat dinner alone with the other wedding goers and he did great. Then today he did well to stay out of the grownups way when they were moving and even helped clean the apartment after everything was moved out. On both days I had to get after him a few times, but not for anything big (mostly safety things). I was afraid he would act up because he wasn't getting much attention, but not the case. I didn't know my little guy could be such a good kid. I told him how grateful I was that he chooses the right and uses good judgement. I think he knows how important it was to me because he was just beaming when I thanked him. Now I am off to snuggle and cuddle and play with my guy. Time for some good one on one time. Sorry if this came off brag-ish (not a word, right?) but I was so floored that I had to share (Russ isn't here to talk to). Thanks for humoring me.
