Just being gentle

My boy is getting so big. Everyday he picks up something new, is able to communicate a little more and shows a little more understanding of the world around him. Because he's a typical boy, I'm always telling him to be gentle...with things he's touching, with his brother, with just about everything he comes into contact with...be gentle. Today he was in our bedroom touching the little beads that hang down from our lamp shades. While standing in the hall watching him, I called in "Jack? Whatcha doing in there?" He looked up at me and said, "I just being gentle in here."
