Whining Animals

Our kitchen is a mess (reconstruction) and we went out to dinner at Panera's. Alex had a lot of coins from Grandma and decided that he was going to buy his own dinner. He wanted a bagel with cream cheese and paid for it with a pile of coins. Mom was so proud her little son was buying his own dinner. Alex was pretty proud of himself too.

Alex has been maturing lately. Rather than be difficult much of the time, he's started helping out a bit. He helped me dig up the garden and didn't get in the way that much. He was genuinely trying to help out. We managed to dig up a couple of stumps and put in a small vegetable garden.
