Courtesy Cones

Today Bells, you asked me if you could walk to arctic circle with the neighbor girl for a courtesy ice cream cone. Its about 4 blocks down main street, a pretty busy road. Oh man, I didnt want to say yes, but I did. I just barely let you ride your scooter in the front yard without my surveillance! I gave you a phone and told you to be back in 30 min. Every minute seriously felt like and hour. I wanted to get in the car and watch you until you were home safe. You bounded in the door so happy in 15 min. Moses, you wanted to go so SO bad and cried your little eyes out when I wouldnt let you, so later that evening, I drove you to the circle and you walked in by yourself and proudly asked for a chocolate courtesy cone. Barely able to see over the counter, we get such a kick out of your confidence!
