Appropriate

Today my son hurt himself and all I could do was fall to the ground laughing! I know, not an appropriate response. But the reason for the laughter was because of his appropriate response. As always, Jayen and Brilyn were fighting over the same toy in the backyard. Brilyn was telling Jayen to sit on the motorcycle. I was trying to show Jayen she meant the four wheeler and lightly kicked it with my foot. Jayen came over and also tried kicking the four wheeler, but his sandals did not provide enough protection for his foot. He loudly cried, "OUCH!" and dramatically fell to the ground. I laughed so hard! His response was so appropriate! This is a huge milestone! Jayen doesn't normally have appropriate response. He has an amazingly high pain tolerance. His reaction was just too perfect, I couldn't help but be amazed, excited, overjoyed that he is finally doing something appropriate!
