Share the wealth.

Last week on Valentine's Day, Grant's class had a party.  He came home from school with a bag full of cards and candy, and also with his best buddy, Jake, who was going to play for a while after school.

He asked if he could have a piece of his candy, and also asked if he could give one to Jake.

Me: "Of course you may give a piece to Jake.  That is very thoughtful of you.  Good job sharing."
Grant: (who looked at me as if I had two heads) "Of course I would give him some. He's my best friend..." (The "duh" was implicit in his tone.)

I am so proud of the person he is becoming!  It's his birthday today.
Happy birthday Grant... it's been 8 exciting and very entertaining years with you, buddy!

He melts my heart. He's adorable! Happy 1 week late birthday, Grant!

Did you make him a very specific cake and tacos on Sunday?
