raising heller

well let me start by saying that a couple of sundays ago steven left church during sacrament because asher was sick and lily, jack and i stayed until church was over. unfortunately for me, i have never seen jack as crazy as he was in sacrament. at one point, i had to hold him in my lap and pin his arms down because he wanted to run around and be loud. well needless to say, i couldn’t wait to get him to nursery. i then dropped lily off and headed to my classes. after church i went to pick up jack and one of the moms stopped me in the hall and said, “i have to tell you that you have a very special little man.” i said thank you and she continued (she has an 18month daughter) “my daughter has been having such a hard time in nursery and he was so sweet to her today. when she was crying, he would go up and hug her and tell her how pretty her dress was. i really think he made her feel special and i have to say that today was the best day she has had in nursery. i can’t believe how mature he is.”

isn’t is amazing how different your children can be from one minute to the next? durning the sacrament, i wanted to (well i won’t say what i wanted to do) but after hearing this, i was so proud of how sweet he was to this little girl in nursery. thanks for being such a good boy when i am not around, it almost makes up for how crazy you can be when you are with me (as he is crying upstairs because i won’t put one of lily’s dress up dresses on him. i normally would but he is about to take a bath.) i love you jackson.
