A new boy

I have recently learned something new about my son: along with growing up comes new thought processes. Let me explain. We went to WalMart the other day and Alex found a tractor toy he really wanted. We didn't get it, but for the first time, Alex did NOT forget about it. A couple days later, I mentioned it to Patrick and Alex started whining and asking for it again! I'm not used to a child who remembers things like that. This brings on a whole new way of life and thought on my part. My baby is growing up in more ways than size!
