53 Days Till I Do

Feb. 13th

28 days!

Its Dillon's Rain Delay Birthday Party!!! YAY! Fortunately, the rain stopped about 5pm Friday evening. Its windy, chilly, but SUNNY! The party is outside at Tekesta Park. The park has a small playground, a full basketball court with 10 ft goals, and a full football field and baseball field. Today is Dillon's day.

These boys are amazing. I know I pretty much say this in every blog but its true. Cassie raised them well. Its Dillon's Birthday party but he is still respectful. For example, we are in Target buying last minute gatorade, chips, and hand sanitizer(you should never leave home without it). Target was out of a number of things especially Red gatorade, Dillon's favorite. Some kids might have pitched a fit. Its his bday party, if Dillon really wanted Red Gatorade i would gone to publix to get. Dillon simply chose Blue flavor and wanted us to hurry up (this was cutting into his basketball and football playing).

When the party started a number of his friends showed up. Dillon was asking them, his friends, what they wanted to do first. He was not selfish and telling them this is what we are doing, he simply asked. A little bit later kids from the surrounding neighborhood showed up. They wanted to play basketball. Instead of Dillon saying, "hey this is my party and your not invited," he asked if anyone wanted to join their team to make the players even. A lot of maturity from a 10 year old.

Sometimes I wonder if we adults are that mature and respectful. I have only been when Cassie for a little over a year and Dillon was the shyest of the three boys. I happy that he allowed me to see his true personality. He's a great kid and I am proud to be his Steppy D.
