Halloween 32

Note: Garrett is NOT a power ranger. He is Frozone from The Incredibles.

Conference Sunday

I love staying home for conference!!

So nice.

After two whole weeks with nothing but the usual primary and mom commitments, Junior Jazz started last night. It was fun and the parents are all really nice. I was so focused on the new players and learning their names that I barely noticed Weston was there. He said he had fun. I love that kid.

Tuesday night Wes was feeling sick, but he didn't have the word for it. Dramatically, he told me, "My brain feels really soft. I need something to harden it." Kirstin and were talking about how what he might need (for therapy, not brain-hardening) is to go through the dictionary A to Z and talk about each word and the situations in which you might use it. That would surely cover all the gaps I do not realize he has!

One more Weston story:

The other night he gave a distraught Garrett his special bunny (Weston had just found it after it had been missing for two months). After Garrett calmed down and fell asleep, I came into their room and the following ensued:

Weston: "I know I did a good thing for Garrett. You know how I know? I feel it right here, in my heart."

Hug.

Mom: "Yes you did."

Hug still going.

Weston: "I wish Caden was as good as me."

We had a discussion about how everyone is good and has talents and sometimes we make poor choices that influence others, etc, etc, etc. It was hard to keep a straight face.
