Though I look horrible, I had to post this picture. One night last week Grant climbed up on top of me while Jared and I were in mid-conversation. About a minute later he was out! What a sweetheart!
I am constantly amazed by this little boy!
Tonight he says to me "Mom, how can we help people?" This isnt the first time he has asked me this. He has asked me several times before. At first I wasnt really sure what he meant by this, but he explained to me that he wants to help people who "are in need". (I have to constantly remind myself that he is only 5) If you have ever met Grant and taken the time to look into his beautiful big blue eyes you might see the gigantic heart he has and the sweet spirit he was gifted with. He has a bigger heart than I could ever imagine. So I want to help my sweet little boy to help "people in need" Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do with him? I want him to be involved and see the impact that he can make in someone elses life.
Last week we had Parent/Teacher conferences and of course he got a perfect report card. I just hope that as he gets older he doesnt start to slack off like his mommy did. His teacher said that he is really excelling in reading and math. The one thing she said though is that he blurts out answers without raising his hand, but the answers are always correct. I told her that was his dad's fault because he is so outgoing and such a talker. She said that he has amazing manners and his social skills are above and beyond. Starting this week she is going to make him a mentor to a couple of students who are having some troubles in class. That made me really proud, because I know that he is the best one for the job. I go in and volunteer in his class every Friday and I get to watch him in class. He is best buddies with everyone and he is always helping someone else with something. I know it is important to learn to read and write and do arithmatic, but I think it is equally important to learn how to properly treat people in this life. And I think Grant is off to a good start!
I know I say it all the time, But I LOVE THIS BOY!!! HE AMAZES ME!!

maybe a little cliche but it fits his personality but he can have a lemonade stand this summer and donate whatever money he makes to the homeless shelter or to the foodbank or to primary children's hospital.
He is such a good boy because he has such good parents. He is so well mannered and we love that. Good job Laur! And Grant!!!!
