A friend invited us to the park today after school. We showed up after lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find a group of kiddos we know from school were there. The main reason there were so many was that a friend's daughter was having princesses make good on a birthday order. Belle and Rapunzel were there to entertain and paint faces.
Sawyer was off playing with friends most of the time. Belle started some music and she was dancing with the girls and singing. Sawyer came over to check it out. Belle was twirling the little girls, and some big girls... because that's what girls do. She asked Sawyer "Would you like to spin?" Sawyer then bowed to her, took her hand, spun, and bowed again. Two mothers told me what they saw and, with their hands on their chests and faces filled with adoration, told me how precious that was.
That's my Sawyer.
While Sawyer was waiting to get his face painted (with two roses... yes, roses) one of his peers persuaded him to get out of line and chat. It was told to me that this boy didn't understand why Sawyer wanted to hang out with the girls. This boy, Sawyer said, thinks boys are better because God made Adam first and then made Eve from Adam.
How did Sawyer respond?
Sawyer told this boy, "Well, aren't girls the only reason you're alive?" In case you read that wrong, Sawyer's sentiment was that without a girl this boy wouldn't have been born. Sawyer just doesn't miss a beat. He really gets it. There is no better than in God's world. Plus, Sawyer loves all people and enjoys being around all people. It's a blessing and something I hope we can foster within him throughout his life.
Love my boy!
