was with my boy. (Picture taken on the trail!)

 

So it was a small day for me. I am ever so happy we did it together though. D~Fly and I are able to get time together one on one that isnt possable with all the other kids in the house.  Which is nice. I am finding that I look forward to the workouts with him more than I do with anyone else. NEVER thought that he and I would have this conection. I am so happy that we do.

we got in a 3 mile run. there is no map that I can show you. I was wanting too But the trails are not on mapmyrun.com so you are stuck with trusting me. LOL. went back over it with my bike/odometer so that I would know how far we went. it wasnt even how far. it was more about the walk before hand and the talking. He showed me the course that we were going to take. He knows it from Cross country running last year. and he wanted us to do it like it was the race. I …. DON’T mind.

so we walked and talked about all sorts of things. His BIO MOM is comig to town and we are working on visitation for her to be able to see him. This always brings fears for him. and for us…. I want him to voice them.  Now that he is older. HE IS DOING IT! all/any fear is ligitament. these… are even more so. as he has dealt with the crazienss that is his mother for a long time. He knows what will happen. But I reasure him. All will be fine.

easier said than done MOM!

Yeah for both of us babe. For both of us.

He has grown, something cool for him…. empathy and compasion is not something that he has shown regularly over the past 9 years we have had him. something about RAD makes it GONE! But this ….today….this happened.

D~Fly- “I~fly while we were headed to the car I think I smashed your lunch a little bit. and since we got the same thing… I would like you to have mine instead.”

Me-……….

I~fly……..”okay BIG BRO!” He of course at the age of 5 is seeing that the grass is greener…. not that it mattered… but you know kids are kids…

Me- “You know buddy you don’t have to do that.” hoping he will explain his feelings about it….

D~Fly… “yeah I know but I don’t want his day to be BLUNDERED because of my Fowl up.”

Me-…….

……… Okay … you know that is AWSOME empathy and compassion. I am SO PROUD OF YOU!……

Me- “Hey bud you are turning out to be just the coolest dude! I mean that. thank you for thinking about your brother and his feelings. that was really sweet.

D~Fly…….. THank you mom……….. *stunned*

so when we got home he MADE sure that the lunches were in perfect order. than let his brother choose. I was able to sit back and watch…. the boy t hat would have beat the CRAP out of anyone for thinking about LOOKING at his lunch just 2 years ago… freely give it to his little brother give him a hug and a kiss…. and just tell him he loved him.

I AM THE MOST BLESSED MOMMY ON THE EARTH!

Thank you Lord for sending this one to me.
