My boy with a BIG heart

One of T's favorite teachers is now his tutor.  Every once in a while she brings her daughter to school and he reads to her for his reading time. I swear - it makes his week!!  He adores them both.

This week, I had to share sad news.  She had her second miscarriage. Tristan had a lot of questions (of course) and then I asked if he wanted to give her a card.  So he said he needed to go outside.

He wrote all of that without any coaxing from me.  Then he drew hearts. And I just realized, rainbow hearts.. and he can never know the significance of that - because she thought THIS would be her "rainbow baby" but maybe... just maybe the large hearts are for the two rainbow babies that never were on this earth and maybe, just maybe ... God will bring them another child.

She took off a week to rest and heal so he's really missed her...



It reads...

You are the most bravest person in the world that I no (know). 
She or he will be with you. 
I missed you Mrs. Pettus 
Sorry your baby died.

I hope this doesn't break her heart - I hope she feels loved.  Because he LOVES her so much.  We will continue to pray.  She is a great mom that would love to once again be a mommy!  She;s suffered great loss, life is hard... But GOD!!! He can move mountains!!

You wanted this SO badly Tristan.  You are SO good at math... but it's been a very stressful time for our family.  You've handled it well but I just wasn't sure.  Then you wanted THIS one thing so badly. You had to earn it.  All alone.  And you did. I never tutor him in math. THE ONE THING I CAN... he doesn't need.  So - we go back to 4th-grade science, social studies, etc. together! LOL THIS YOU DID ALL ON YOUR OWN!!! 5th place in your whole school!! ON TO MATH OLYMPICS!!!! rabbit face! PURE PRIDE!! and then killing it across the board! Proud Mom alert!  Proud Mom alert!!! We're pooped!  Gotta rest that big brain for tomorrow!!!

She turned one and the day was fun!!

Can't believe she's ONE already - Happy Birthday Baylor!!! she's injured so we couldn't take her to the dog park or running or anything she would have loved... praying her leg heals - can't really afford a $4k surgery!!! Then, Braeden came over and we headed to the company picnic! Awkward "family" photo... hahahahaha they spent most of their time in the bounce house... but there was some ping pong action as well... And when T got in line for the pinata... I warned them... that no other would most likely go after him... three swings and he sheered the head right off that thing! Lots of loot for all. The kiddos were pretty jazzed! Then, before the day was over we went out to watch my bosses all get hit in the face with pie.  $5 each throw and it all went to charity. I donated $20 (but I knew I couldn't hit them) and promptly gave those tickets away. Krueger... hilarious! Such...

And just like that... he's TEN!

Oh man, these posts are such a celebration but also SO hard. I mean, a year.  A YEAR has gone by. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?  And let's not dive too deep into that because that means I'm almost 48!!! But I love this kid.... BIG TIME He had 3 basketball games this weekend.  He killed it.  I love watching him play... he's just a natural.  But he's also kind.  If someone gets hurt, he's concerned.  He usually takes a knee but sometimes he's so worried the team has to jar him to do it.  That's something I love about him. He LOVES his friends. I mean LOVES and it is just the sweetest.  He's a stinker sometimes (who isn't) but he's a great friend that will stand by you, stand up for you and he will love you.  That's something I love about him. He loves animals.  He sees them, talks about them, recites the 9,000 facts he knows about them.  He loves Baylor, still talks about Aslan and Simba.  Another thing I lo...
