See? I was patient.

Apparently, I frequently tell Sebastian to "be patient." I wasn't really aware of how often I must be saying this to him, until one day, he said to me, "See? I was patient. I didn't try to bite you."

Other uses for this phrase that we've heard in the past week or so

See? I was patient. I didn't tell you not to talk.
See? I was patient. I didn't run in the street without you holding my hand.
See? I was patient. I didn't cheat.
See? I was patient. I didn't have a hissy fit.
See? I was patient. I didn't pee on the floor.

All of these things make me really happy. I'm not sure he quite understands what the word "patient" means, but we're getting there.
