Hunter's Primary Teacher

Hunter doesn't always warm right up to new people, but once he does, he treats them like his best friend. It is so hard for him to change teachers and classes. When we changed church classes at the beginning of the year, he was so sad he wouldn't be with Sister Shelly Smith anymore. But after just a week or two, his affections for his old teacher shifted to his new one. He now has Sister Jenny Sherwood and Sister Jennifer Walker. I hear about his teacher, Sister Sherwood a lot (he calls her Jenny). Over the summer, she was gone for about 3 weeks and I heard every Sunday how much he missed his teacher and couldn't wait for her to come back. This last Thursday, at pack meeting, his teacher was there since her boy is in scouts. He saw her sitting alone and said, "I'm going to go sit by Sister Sherwood."  She didn't notice him sit down next to her at first but she suddenly discovered a person sitting very close to her. When she realized who it was, she immediately put her arm around him and he quickly reciprocated with a beaming smile. Sister Sherwood's father recently passed away. In exchanging emails, she sent me this note about Hunter: "That Hunter of yours is the sweetest most sensitive boy. He has made a point to ask me how I'm doing and has been so sweet. You guys have raised him well!!"  Proud parenting moment!!! I love hearing positive feedback about my kids. It reminds me of how special they really are. I love that he and his teacher share a special bond. It is such a happy feeling to know when others appreciate your children!!! 

Raisin Bran

Trevor asked Adam to go downstairs to the pantry and get him some Raisin Bran. I told Trevor that Adam would not know which cereal was Raisin Bran. Meanwhile, Adam disappeared into the garage. We heard the door open upon his return and his little boy voice asking, "Is this Raisin Bran Daddy?"  

He was carrying a can of WD-40. We were cracking up. He did not like us laughing at him. 

I got the door closed in my face in retaliation. I thought it was so sweet that Adam was trying so hard to please his daddy. 

Sneaky Adam

I don't usually make the boys clean their rooms on Sunday but today was an exception because it was really bad and it was supposed to be done yesterday. I was getting ready for church and Adam came into the bathroom.

"Is your room was clean?" I asked him. 

"Yes" he answered.  

"OK" I said. "I'm going to go check it."

"No!" He told me.

"Why not?" I asked.  

"Because Batman would get mad." He said. 

Then he told me in an annoyed tone, "I haven't even had 'breakthis' yet or my vitamin!"

"OK I'll get you breakfast in a minute when I'm done with my makeup." I told him. 

Then he randomly said, "I'm going to go close my door."

"Why?" I asked. 

"Because my kitty is sleeping" he told me. 

It's funny how young they learn!!
