Thoughtful One

Trevor has a gift for thinking of others. It blesses my heart! He always insists on sharing his food and if he is building something out of Legos, he makes one for everyone! More often than not, if we go somewhere and buy him a toy, we get home and he gives it away. ("Mom, I actually bought this for you!") If he earns a trip to the dollar store, I know he won't come home without something for his brother! My mom got him and Gavin each a stuffed animal when Avery was born. Wouldn't you know it, Trevor gave his to Avery. Yesterday, Trevor made his birthday/Christmas wish list. On it he has a few things you would expect to see on a boy's wish list. (Like all the things he saw on the most recent commercial break!) But he also has on his list: a green ball for Smudge, a rattle for Avery, bear slippers for Avery, a play set for Avery (??)... What a little sweety! (The other thing I was surprised to see on his list was "a map book"! What the..? My 7 year old wants an atlas for his birthday? I blame Bryan for that one. Ha!) So, I guess all that thoughtful cuteness makes up for his occasional straight forward comments. I was giving him a hug, yesterday, telling him how great he did practicing the piano... He said to me in his sweet little voice, "Mom, are you still pregnant a little bit? Just a little bit?" I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry! (I think I did both.) I guess it's time to start working on my abs! Thanks, Trevor!
