Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's my husband's birthday today, and the family that is near went to a brunch and then a museum.  The two little fellows did great, but we took our cues from them.  Their wishes were our command.  Our almost two year old grandson had a huge pancake and pronounced it "tasty".  The nine month old ate like a stevadore.  It was cooler today, as if in celebration of our celebration, and the breeze was wonderful.  We didn't push things though.  We parted when naptime beckoned.  The agreement was unspoken:  we do what's best for the children.  I see a lot of parents dragging overtired kids around and pushing them past their limits.  I'm glad my family doesn't do that.  We are limited by what the littlest can manage.  And it's still way fun!
