Birthday party!

Today was his birthday party and so we invited few people and it turned out to be a great little party for the kids! he had so much fun but I really didn't get to see him much or play with him that much because he was playing with other kids which I was really happy about because he is so social and outgoing that I know he was in his world! He did get mad at some point though because he couldn't have cheetos before the party started and I felt a little weird about it too because as I was saying: "No, that is for YOUR birthday party later tonight" I thought, that it was his birthday party and why couldn't he eat them now if it was for HIM anyway for his birthday. Then I thought of explaining to him a little better and said: "You can't eat them now because we have to share with the guests too, they may want to eat some too and if you eat them now, there won't be enough for everyone later" He still wanted them but then, put them aside and did not fight any longer. And of course as soon as they were in the table he started grabbing a lot of Cheetos and eating them like crazy and even at some point, one of his little friends and him, thought it better to just get the chairs close to the table and eat at the table to not have to come back every minute to get more, but hey, he waited and shared which I think it was really important and also the fact that he trusted my words and knew that it was going to happen as I said not like: I will give it to you later and then hide it so he wouldn't "remember" and not eat any. I think that when we say: I will, then we should do as we said, the results... no screaming from a two year old and trust in return! I feel very happy that he trusts that I am going to do as I said, even when sometimes he doesn't like what I am going to do like: "you can only have one cookie today but after you eat your lunch", he hates the amount that I tell him and the time when he is going to be able to eat his cookie but he can always know that I am not going to forget and that I am keeping my promise!
I love Alexis so much, I hope to get more rewards like today when I do something that I think is good for him. I just hope that I am able to mend the mistakes I made and that I will make along the way, being a parent is not easy but seeing my son grow is priceless.
