Planting seeds

Michael just came up to me and said, "Mom have we gotten in trouble yet today?" (It's 10am LOL) So I tell him no. And he says to me that he's been trying really hard to be nice to B. He says he looked at a picture of them together (that is framed in their room) and it reminded him of when they use to not fight as much. He said he's been feeling mad today at B but he makes it go away because , "you shouldn't let someone steal your joy". (which is what i have always told him) He says, "I want to be nice to B like in the days when I was sweet to him. " (I told him the other day that they need to quit fighting because when they were younger they use to get along much better and they were always sweeter to each other.) So I hug him and tell him I am proud of him . I guess sometimes the seeds you plant in your children's minds do grow! : )

I just heard Blake say to M, "I'm being nice aren't I Mike?" (as they play Pokemon)
