Do what is Right

So Ben asked me if he could color with a pen and paper. I told him that he needed to be careful and not color anything else. That he needed to "Please keep it on the paper." So he started, leaning cautiosly across a bucket that houses his beloved kitchen toys. When all of the sudden he paniced and ran into our kitchen crying "quashcaf"(translation "wash cloth"). Where he promply grabbed our kitchen towel and brought it back to his bucket and started frantically wipeing at a small red spot where the pen had gone off the paper. He than came over to me and told me "Uh-Oh!?" and pointed to where he had gone off his paper. Than he put his little hands together and held his head down, with the saddest look on his sweet little face. I said,"Did you have an accident? Did you get it on the bucket?" He than ran to me with open arms and big tears. I told him that it was ok, and thanked him for trying so hard to clean it up.
My heart just swells to see that he understands and wants to do what is right as such a very young age! I hope that I can continue to teach him the right way and that he can always come to me when he has done something wrong. Just like we too can go to our Heavenly Father with open arms, knowing that he still loves us and wants us to learn to do what is right.
