Sweetness

Sometimes the boys can be so sweet... yesterday was a good example. We have started going for short walks Monday and Tuesday afternoons with our neighbor, Mary Ann. (She wants to improve her physical health before a surgery and asked and I said 'yes') Yesterday, however, she wasn't home. We went for a walk anyway but, oh, it was COLD. Jason was shooting along on his scooter happily enough, while Xander and I followed. (Xander was in the jogging stroller, tucked about with blankets). About 10 minutes into the walk, Jason began to fade -- the wind was very cold and blowing hard and he was not really dressed for it. So I suggested we turn for home. He decided to walk beside me then, instead of scooting, and as we walked he looked up at me with his lovely blue eyes 'Mommy, why are we going back so soon?' 'My hands are very cold' I replied 'and I don't want you two to get cold as well.' He thought for a second then carefully placed his warm little hand on top of mine. 'There, Mommy. Now you won't be cold.' Oh, that child...

Jason really does amaze me. His reading and his writing are improving by leaps and bounds. Yesterday, he wrote thank you notes to Jeff Brewer and to his Gma Mary then sat himself down to begin his 'book' He wrote four pages. I will scan them and include them in this blog. He was having such a good time writing his story that we had a hard time getting him to stop for bathes and books! He also made two new 'Wavy Cape' tee shirts -- one for Jeff (as a retirement present) and one for Xander. His next tee shirts will be for Gma Mary and for Hope.. Then all he has to do is write the next episode of Captn Wavy Cape -- this will be the episode (he informs me) in which Captain Wavy Cape's cape will be revealed! Ah, the suspense. Ah, the tension!
