Doin' a "secial" job

Oh, how I love that boy of mine!!! Jamy is awesome, but this time I am talking about the littlest man in my life. Watching him go to preschool has been so much fun. He LOVES school and much to my surprise, has had zero problems with me leaving him there. He takes his teacher's hand, waves bye and heads up the steps without hardly even looking back.

Weston is so many things. He can be wild and crazy. Sometimes he is more than just a little ornery. Under it all though, there is a sweetness and sensitive little man that makes me so proud. He holds Skylar's hand to help her down the stairs. He has carried a little caterpillar around for about 24 hours now. He says it needs him because it can't find its mommy and daddy. Never mind, the reason it can't get home is because he put it in a bug house. Doesn't matter, Weston just knows he needs to take care of it. He hugs me constantly and puts my face in his little hands so he can look at me. He thinks Daddy hung the moon. Since Weston has started school I have really come to appreciate what a sensitive guy he really is.

His new question/comment for me is, "Look, Mommy, I did a secial job!" or "Mommy, did I do a secial job?" He is so proud that he is doing a "secial" job. We have a bulletin board in the kitchen where we display the kid's school papers. Every time he walks by and sees his stuff from school he has to remind us that he did a "secial" job. Hearing that sweet little voice full of pride for the job he has done makes my day.

Hug your kids tight today and remind them how "secial" they are to you. And yes, Weston, you did a "secial" job.
