Proud

Today M shared a bit of really nice news with me regarding E. She said that E's teacher called to tell her that E was being just the most polite, caring, happy and every thing you could ever ask for in a kid. This mini report card sure does wonders for how you're doing when you raise a kid.

On our way out the door this morning, E started to whine that she wanted her flowered jacket. I countered that she had to wear the one she had on because it was cold outside. She continued her whine so I gave her a choice. To wear the heavy jacket and walk to school or to wear the flowered jacket and drive to school. She looked at me for a short moment and resounded with a hearty Walk to school! So we did. It was a nice walk and a bit more brisk paced than normal as E had me hold her while I pushed MHM. I was glad of that because both kids have hacking coughs and enough snot to float a boat, so I didn't feel so bad that they were out in the elements for too long. It really was quite a nice morning!

MHM is such an even keel, I have to just mention that he is part of what we do, but of course E overshadows him when we are together. I will say that I got a chance to video him walking behind a play car / walker for kids. He can do it well and I am very proud that he is also such an excellent kid!
