You know you love your children when, you have told them they need to find an item and put it in the backpack for school the night before and they dwaddle, you get distracted, and next morning you arrive at school realizing this item is NOT in the bag like you asked them to do...and you offer to make an EXTRA trip to school to bring it to them so they won't be the only kid in class without "one", praying along the way, that the baby who got up extra early that particular morning and teething will not fall asleep in the car, so their blessed nap is not interrupted, between hauling them in and out of the car so many times to just complete the task of dropping kids off at school and running back home to get a bear and bring it back to school....only to get there and give your child the item....and they don't even say, "thanks mom" or anything. I think Grant is becoming more socially aware and it is a bitter/sweet moment to watch that transition. I was surprised when the school sent home a note asking for a teddy bear to be brought for a "teddy bear picnic" some special lunch thing the teacher was doing that day for the kids...and Grant has never been too much of a stuffed animal kid....so I took the bear he got as a gift from Tim's workplace when he was in the hospital for one of his heart surgeries....one of those Vermont Bears.
