We had a blast today at Berry Patch Farms! We joined our MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) group for a morning hayride, pumpkin "picking" and a picnic lunch. Noah was mesmerized by the calf and goat saying "cow! cow! cow!" over and over again and the red tractor (emphasis on the "k" in "trackter"). I have been saying for the past 8-9 months that Noah is so sweet, obedient and just an all around HAPPY guy. Today, although that does remain true, I noticed he certainly his an opinion is getting stronger and stronger, especially when it was time to go. Noah is usually okay with a 5 minute warning. We say "Noah, 5 more minutes to play and then it is time to clean-up/go whatever the case". I think today something clicked for him and he DID NOT want to go. I am realizing each day how important it is to stand firm when it come to a battle of wills! It is so hard, but in the end Phillip and I know that what we follow through with today will bless us in the future.
