Grooming Keegan

Keegan surprises me a lot of times with his larger than life personality. He cracks me up with his sense of humor and amazes me with his thought process.

Recently, we pass the flower aisle at the grocery store and he chimes in with his request for flowers so that he can give them to me. As precious as that was, I told him that just knowing that he wanted to give me the flowers was enough followed by, "That's something that you ask Daddy to buy when it's just you and him at the store."

Well, Kenny and Keegan ran into Albertsons today as Jason, Dallas and myself waited in the car. Next thing I know, there is Keegan running up to my side of the car with this bouquet of flowers. He did just what I suggested and waited until it was he and Kenny in the store and then asked his Daddy to buy him some flowers so that he could give them to me. It was all his idea and his presentation of the flowers was priceless. With pride he handed them over telling me, "I bought you flowers, Momma!". He then gave me 2 hugs and a kiss and then climbed into his car seat. As I enjoyed the thoughts of him becoming a little gentleman, he shouted, "And now you won't spank my butt!"

Hmmm....seems that he is learning early to sweet talk the women in his life before he gets in trouble. I guarantee that the next time he gets into a little hot water, he will remind me of this nice gesture. His wheels are always spinning, that's for sure. :-)
