Proud Mamma

Me: "Josh, would you like some water?"
Josh: "No, but thank you for asking."

*I know this one isn't funny. But his response melted my heart. On his own, without any persuasion....just like a polite little man. I am so proud of my kiddo. He truly blows me away on a daily basis. I constantly have doubts about whether or not I am doing the right thing with Josh - Am I too hard on him? Am I not hard enough? I don't want a bratty shithead. He is an only child. I don't want to screw this up. This is his life, not mine, that I am molding. Cover your mouth when you cough, say "please" and "thank you", SHARE, close the toilet lid, say "excuse me" when you burp and fart, etc. This is one he did ALL on his own. Wow.
