I wish I had thought of that earlier. Well..I am learning as I go along. This parenting thing is definitely a learning experience in itself.

Thanks for the feedback!


It took me a few tries to figure out that what I did easily, DS then thought he couldn't do. You will learn as you go, certainly! BTW, our younger son doesn't appear to have the same perfectionist tendencies. Our fingers are crossed. :-)
