Humbled...

This morning Leighton wasn't being very cooperative about keeping his shoes on in the car on the way to daycare. I ended up being stern with him, which was followed by a loud "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" from him. I didn't say anything, and maybe 5 minutes later all of the sudden I hear "mommy?"... "sorry".

I was floored. It actually made me tear up. I'm proud to know I am raising a son who understands that yelling isn't always the best way to get your point across.
