so I can brag about my kid if I want to. Okay....... well......... maybe that does sound a little rude and obnoxious. But I have to share a sweet story about my boy.
A few weeks ago I posted about this adorable little chair I got for Aidan at Carla's shop. Last weekend I spent a fun day helping her out, and I came home with this little stool. (Thank you Carla!)
Isn't it just the cutest? I love it and it looked perfect in my living room, (that seems to be headed in a more folksy direction every day.) Aidan also loved it and has claimed it as his own. He figures all furniture from Carla's shop must be his, I guess.
As we were rearranging things and making room for our new treasure, Aidan informed me that since he is only one boy who doesn't have a "brudder" yet, he would like to give his other little chair and stool to his friend Izzy's little brother Ephram. (sorry, hope you could follow that!)
This Chair.
I have to say, I am a little sad......... I have lots of fond memories of him and his chair. He has delighted sitting in it over the past few year as well. But I don't want to squelch his generous little spirit. Sometimes I am actually blown away by his willingness to give, and I pray that it is something he never outgrows.
Besides, we are already making memories with his new chair and stool, right?
Addendum: My sweet little kind boy just put a bug down my shirt. I guess boys will be boys regardless how sweet they seem.

wasn't the reason they invented blogs so that we could brag on our kids?
What a sweet and generous little boy, and what a good mom for seeing the bigger picture and valuing his developing character and large heart over a very cute chair with lots of fond memories attached to it. That's a hard thing to do, so good job!
