Last week on Valentine’s Day, Grant’s class had a party. He came home from school with a bag full of cards and candy, and also with his best buddy, Jake, who was going to play for a while after school.
He asked if he could have a piece of his candy, and also asked if he could give one to Jake.
Me: “Of course you may give a piece to Jake. That is very thoughtful of you. Good job sharing.”
Grant: (who looked at me as if I had two heads) “Of course I would give him some. He’s my best friend…” (The “duh” was implicit in his tone.)
I am so proud of the person he is becoming! It’s his birthday today.
Happy birthday Grant… it’s been 8 exciting and very entertaining years with you, buddy!

I love when we realize we are doing a good job with our kids. Happy birthday to him and to you!!! He is one good looking boy!
Thrilled to share a bday with such a thoughtful boy! 🙂 Happy Birthday Grant!

Awww…I had a moment like that with my oldest last week, who’s also 8. So thoughtful.
He melts my heart. He’s adorable! Happy 1 week late birthday, Grant!
Did you make him a very specific cake and tacos on Sunday?
