I fully realize that I am a blog-slacker! Our world is a bit crazy right now and I can't seem to find time to catch up. Here is just a story I do not want to forget.
Yesterday as we were leaving to meet Julee and Carolina for lunch I opened the garage door and let the boys walk down the driveway while I buckled Lucy. As I reminded them to stay out of the street, I saw Hampton run in front of Reid to make sure he was safe. When I got Lucy buckled, I shouted for the boys to come get in the car. They were down the sidewalk a bit and I saw Hampton take Reid by the hand (at first, then by the wrist b/c Reid wanted to walk the other way) and lead him back to the car. I heard Hampton saying, "Reid, Mommy said to get in the car. We need to obey." As we were driving, the following conversation took place:
"Hampton I am so proud of you for protecting Reid and helping him make a good choice to obey."
"I was kinda like a super hero?"
"Yes you were. You protected your little brother."
"Why did I protect Reid?"
"Because you love him."
"Yeah, I do."

So proud of him! He will always be a super hero to us.
Good job, Mom, for teaching our grand babies! You are a "super hero mom"

I love this story - thanks for sharing it. Having 2 sons, it brought back memories. We need lots more super heroes, so keep teaching 'em mommy! Judy F.
So sweet! Moments like that make all of the craziness worth it, don't they?
