Tonight when we got home from me picking you from grandmas you walked over to the sink, turned on the water, pulled up a stool and proceeded to wash the sink full of dishes. Then got a drying towel and laid each one out to dry. Then rinsed and folded the rag, laying it over the sink. Then carried the larger than you stool back to where it belongs. Your heart is so big and kind and full of sweetness and it makes my heart better and better and more improved with each day. You teach me so much about this life! You just grew up right there in front of me and i snapped away photos to save that memory in my mind and on paper. You said as you jumped in my arms with the biggest smile, "im soooo proud of myself!" I am so beyond proud of you too, my love. So proud.
This boy with the sweetest heart then wrote grandma a check like mommy does and wrote it for $125. His first time writing a 5 on his own, too! He then wanted to walk it to the mailbox so grandma could get her weekly check for keeping him.
