Me: Lincoln, you seem really impatient tonight.
Lincoln: I realized that when I was whining so much.
Lincoln recognized tonight that he was being impatient and whiney, yet he continued to do it and I continued to react and be angry. When he had finally settled down enough to come over and give me an apologetic hug we talked about it and he understood why I had been upset. I apologized to him for my anger and realized that my behavior had been just as poor as his.
I am so glad that my children are so forgiving and we can learn together.

I love moments like these.
I agree it is important to say your sorry, so that they learn to say sorry too.
We wouldn't learn very much if we didn't have someone to learn it with, would we? That was a sweet moment.
