SAY PLEASE........

Bethany is our quiet child. In fact it isn't unusual for us to still here people say they have never heard her speak. Which is funny because she can talk my leg off when she wants to. 2 nights ago we were out Christmas shopping and it was getting late. I was starting to sense that if we didn't get them all home soon, that I would lose it. You know that frantic count down in the back of every mom's brain that starts sounding the alarm that a melt down is coming. Troy had Jack with him in the cart and I had the other 3 in the ornament isle trying to not let them touch everything...HA! So I said to Bethany " Bethany, hold my hand" and I was ignored, a talent she has down to a science! So I repeated myself 4 TIMES!!! Finally she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and said with all seriousness "Mommy I am trying, but you haven't said please". sigh, mommies....practice what you preach!!!!!
