jonah's complaints

We are over at cousin Ethan's house playing (after Brooklyn's blessing). Kyle tells Jonah that it's time to go home. Jonah wails out, "But why does Ethan get to stay."

Jonah says, "Mom, can I have a juice box?" I say, "yes." Before I can finish the "s" on "yes", Jonah wails out, "Buuuut Violet haaaassss onnnne." Hmmm. Either Jonah complains WAY TOO MUCH or I say NO way too much. Probably a bit of both is true.

We've been talking a lot lately about being grateful and expressing it. The boys have been practicing and Jonah is learning. He thanks me for stuff all the time when I least expect it. But I can't say, that I don't still hear the occasional Jonah wail....hey that's what got him into the whale.
