Words of encouragement

Michael continues to surprise us. While he sometimes spent his season of soccer picking flowers and looking around at the other teams on other fields, he genuinely looked forward to his Saturday games. He was disappointed to learn the season would be ending, probably more upset that all of those snacks would be gone as well.

He was especially excited when, after the last game yesterday, he, too, got a medal. After it was placed around his neck, he said, "Now, look, Mommy, I have a medal, just like Jason."



The good thing about Michael--even though he was fairly engrossed in the end of soccer, in his medal, he still had time to notice me.
I swear this came out of his mouth.

"Mommy, you look pretty. I thought you didn't, but now I do."

Always thinking, that one.
