No kicking no screaming, but firmly getting his point across. <br /><br />I had to smile at you realizing Spencer was a little too excited for going to the corn field.

Then they would come find me sitting in someone's yard, worn out from the long walk down the block. They always made me come back home. But my brothers and sisters always had fun because then we usually went to get ice cream. I wouldn't get into the car unless they promised us an ice cream trip.<br /><br />Maybe an extra DVD would make Spencer feel better. I am glad that he wanted to stay with you in the car for a longer drive. I somehow think that is good.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-89295325532696436222011-08-10T00:59:35.223-04:002011-08-10T00:59:35.223-04:00Oh, Betsy.
