The strong willed child

Last night, Grandpa Jim, Grandma Sue, Grandpa Larry, Uncle Scott & Paige came over. It was a beautiful day yesterday, so of course, Sean just wanted to be outside. It's not always easy to get him to sit in his seat during dinner, but last night, it was ever harder. Plus, I wanted him to eat SOMETHING we were eating, anything. What a battle we had over 1 green bean. It's so hard to gauge what we're suppose to "battle" over. I want him to understand that he's not the boss and sometimes he won't get his way. But, I also understand that he's 19 months old and VERY strong willed. I guess Jason and I are in for quite a ride. But, as long as we communicate & pray...it'll all be ok.

We had a great night to be outside. Sean played baseball, blew bubbles, gave Dani & Bum (the dog behind us) treats, rode his car as we went for a walk, etc. He loves being outside. Too bad we live in Michigan and it's supposed to be cold again (and rainy) the next few days. :(
