Responsibilities

Last week we got to go to Carlsbad.  Eric had a conference, so we packed everyone up and made a trip of it!  Friday we went to Legoland as a family.  It was a ton of fun!  But it was also memorable for another reason.  Eric had taken the big boys to wait for a ride, so I grabbed Ethan and Dawson.  They wanted to go down the big slides.  I however did not, so I told Ethan to help Dawson.  He grabbed his mat for him, climbed to the top of the stairs, and then laid it out for him, then gave him a little push.  They did this over and over.  When they were done, I told Ethan how proud I was of him for helping his brother.  Ethan replied, "Well Mom, this is the first time you trusted me to help Dawson on my own...I had to do my best, and not let you down."  I love that kid!
