Recently I was hanging with my two kiddos in a Doctor’s waiting room. I was wearing my flip-flops and kicked one off and very quickly Cooper (my 2.75 year old) had ripped his Croc off and ran over and put it next to mine with a huge smile on his face.

He gave me a few good reminders in that moment:
#1 That he’s watching and imitating me.
#2 It’s more important what I model for him than what I say.
#3 He wants me to notice him…and I do!
#4 He makes waiting in a doctors office an adventure!!!
