...Weekend news:
Rhett won 3rd place in his age division at the Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby! He also won for Most Nascar-Like Car. He was so excited. I, being on top of my game, still didn't have my camera charged from Christmas so no pictures, but as soon as I do charge my battery, I will get a picture of the car and Rhett with his medal.
We were happy for Rhett but this is the moment where we were most proud:
Noah was very sad after Rhett won his medal because he never won a medal, ever. Which is not true and a little self-absorbed, so I brushed him off with a "Noah, hush up and be happy for your brother." Seth then asked Noah what was wrong and Rhett overheard him repeat that he had never, ever won a medal. Without missing a beat, Rhett took off his medal and put it around Noah's neck. Seth and I both stood in awe of Noah's big brother and we had to wipe a couple of tears away.

Today is my dear friend Christy's birthday. Happy Birthday Christy! I hope you have a wonderful day. Big hugs from me!
Rhett's heart is so big. Most children would not even think to feel sorry for their brother let alone share a medal his just won. Rhett is a very special person. I hope he never changes. Sandy
ReplyDeleteWell, that's the sweetest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteOh, very sweet story! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you soooo much for the birthday wishes! I have had a great day -- so far Connor has taken the balloons off my flowers & ate some of my cookie bouquet. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Love you!
Christy
Congrats to Rhett for his award. That's awesome! But even more awesome is how sweet he was to his brother. I know you were proud!
