Patient Little Person


Cole, Crew, and I at Desert Book looking for a baptism gift (and whatever else caught my eye)...

Cole: "Mom, Mom...Mom, MOM, MOM...I really want this."
Me: "Just a min." (balancing Crew's car seat on my hip while holding a gift in the other hand. Not paying attention.)
Cole: "Mom, Mom, Mom....MOM!"
Me: "Just a min."
Cole: "Mom, Mom, Mom, I like this."
Me: "Yes, Cole. I know." (looking at bookshelf still not really paying attention.)
Random Lady: (looking at me...) "What a sweet little person."
Me: (with a questioning look, wondering what "little person" she was referring to?)
Random lady: "Your son is so cute and patient with you."
Me: (Huh? Patient with me? I thought I was the one with the patience here.) "Thank you." (but still, huh?)

Two more stops and an hour later...
(Yeah, he is definitely the patient one. Never thought of it that way.)
