Most days I am "busy" checking things off my list and sometimes am too busy for others. I didn't notice it until Everett really started talking and understanding the concept of hello. Everywhere we go, he says hello to the people we pass. In the grocery store, in the parking lot, out to dinner, at the playground. He makes eye contact and says hello to everyone he sees. He doesn't pay attention to age or gender or race. He doesn't mind if people are crabby or don't say hello back. He still continues to say hello to the people we meet. It's the sweetest and it's a lesson that I needed to learn. A lesson in loving people no matter who they are or if I even know them. Learning that sometimes giving someone a hello and a smile is what they needed right then, and evidence that someone cares.
Everett- you're such a good teacher. Thanks for helping me become a better mama and wife and person. I'm so glad you're mine.
Come on- don't you want to say hello to this?! |

Precious little boy!
Amen lady. As you know miss friendly Eme is the same and she often blesses people with her aknowledgement of them. It's a really good reminder :) love these babies. Ps: took E to CFA for dinner last night. Meltdown. Let's just say I will not be taking her again unless Everett is there & ready to 'play play'. Lol
