Long day and a good boy!

Again, we had such a long Saturday. First we went to the church early in the morning because Cameron wanted to play soccer with the rest of the brothers in our ward. So Alexis, Charlotte, and I stayed inside of the church playing with balls and cars, since it was a little cold outside. We had fun but then Alexis wanted to run out to the streets and he ran and opened the doors to get out of the church, I was with Charlotte in my arms so the only thing I could do was to literally drag him in, I felt horrible but I was so scared that he could run out to the street! He obviously cried and sobbed for few minutes and there I was feeling guilty thinking that I probably hurt him, or made him scratched his knees. I checked him and he told me to stop checking him so he could play, so I guess he was ok but I was still feeling horrible. Then he tripped and fell so I was devastated but you have to do what you have to do. On our way to Pizza Hut, he felt asleep in the car but our car started overheating and therefore we never made it to the pizza place nor house, we luckily made it to my parents house and then ordered pizza. Every single time we will drive the car for one minute, we will have to stop for like 3 minutes to let it cool down and Alexis did wonderfully, he was asleep at first but then he woke up and was even smiling the whole time with sleepy eyes. Thank goodness Charlotte was asleep too. Then we went to Walmart only to find out that the money that was supposed to be deposited in our account was not in yet so after picking the food, a full cart with stuff we had to go home and report the problem. Alexis looked at all the food, specially the stuff that he picked sadly but we still could get him some stuff and as soon as we got home we gave them to him. He was happy and he didn't complain at all, he is a really good boy, and that is why whenever I have to "drag" him I feel terrible, and I know sometimes I push him too much when he is just a little innocent boy growing way too fast for his age and I am not only talking about his height but his intellectual, he is growing too quickly and I still push him forgetting that he is a kid. I have to constantly remind myself how much I wanted to have a normal childhood but couldn't because of the studies for being a smarty one. I want my kids to be kids and to enjoy their time so sometimes, I make that huge mistake but I am glad that I am able to recognize it quickly and hold back a little. I also want to enjoy him! and I am glad I can and I am also glad that he is still just a baby to me and I think he will always be.
