He's a Wolfman

The Boy worked quick and hard to earn his Wolf in Scouts. I'm pretty proud of him - even more so

seeing him stick his tongue out for the picture during the ceremony. 

We haven't done a thing in his scout book since.  I'm such a good mom. A note about his leaders: they are saints. Can you imagine dealing with a large group of 8 year old boys? 

Migraine

I have such a sweet boy. While The Man was away on mancation, I managed to get a pretty bad headache. After I put the Girl to bed, it really hit me. All I could do was sit on the couch and whimper in pain. I wanted to lie down, but that made it worse. Eventually, I had to throw up - that was all the Boy could take. Having googled home remedies for headaches, he ran downstairs and promptly made me an ice pack to put on my head. After he handed it to me, he sat down and said a prayer that I would feel better.  It was so great.

I imediately knew what I needed to do to feel better. The ice pack helped enough that I could lie down. I went to bed early, leaving him to put himself to bed - which he did. I was so proud of him for wanting to help me, figuring out how, and then having the knowledge and the wisdom to use prayer on my behalf.  He has such a good spirit.

Tooth

Unfortunately, the Boy seems to take after his mama in the teeth department. I must have redneck in my DNA and passed it on to him. Nothing but trouble, those teeth. 

The icing on the cake was that he was growing an EXTRA tooth up in his gums. It was basically sideways and causing all kinds of havoc on his front, adult teeth. So it had to be surgically removed.

 I think I was more nervous than he was. He took it like a champ.

Soccer Season

It begins.....and he scored a goal his first game!

He's decided this is the end of his soccer career. We are now free of all team sports. Kind of bittersweet for me.
