Thanks for noticing

J., my oldest son, had a friend sleep over last night. His friend is an only child and is always surprised by the reality of our household. With the candor of a seven-year-old, he has suggested a few times that I clean up the house more often. He also reports the twins' escapades to me in a panick=y voice at frequent intervals. It's usually along the lines of "B. is naked!", "G. is on the kitchen counter!" or "B. is jumping on the IPad!". Actually those are all actual quotes from last night.

This morning, while B. and my husband were still sleeping, I took J, G and J's friend out to the kolache and donut shop. We got our treats and sat at a table to eat. After we'd been there a while, J's friend said, "Hey, Greg is doing really well!"

That warmed my heart so much. For one thing, J's friend is getting some perspective on the whole situation. And, he was right, G. was doing really well.

That is a really sweet thing for a 7 year old to say! I'm glad J has friends like this. I have no idea what we will do when Landon wants to have a sleep over!

We'll take Kudos from where we can get them!
There was a child at our pool (maybe 5-6 yrs old) who kept refereing to Ben as my little brother. Never mind her age, I went home and lit up the phone telling anyone I could that story.
