Stubborn

That is Kyles' middle name, or so it would appear.  He is the most stubborn little kid I know, weather it is refusing to say please, or wanting dad to get him something mom just got him. He can throw a fit like none other and refuses to budge on his opinion. While being stubborn about silly things really never gets him his way, he is finding out how stubborn mom can be too.  When that happens, no one really wins.  For an example, Sunday was the primary program. Kyle went up with his brother for the welcome song and came back down without incident. After the Sacrament was finished, he had a change of mind and didn't want to go up anymore. When he calmed himself a little bit, Dad tried to take him up but didn't make it past the stairs before Kyle asserted his will. He spent the entire program on the side of the stairs, moping. Any time he made eye contact with anyone, he would hid and go back to being a grump. What did this accomplish? Absolutely nothing, except for the burst of tears he cried after he realized the program went by with out him saying his part. Oh, and it made me realize that my 4-year-old has a mind of his own, and it is a stubborn one.
