Although it is exhausting taking care of a preschooler, it is a great reward to receive his hugs and see his face light up when I walk in the room. He loves our dog, Layla, and they are quite photogenic, don't you think?
This one was taken the first night that Sky ever stayed with us.
The circumstances under which Sky came to live so close by are not ideal, but the family is making the most of the opportunity to speak into his life and provide nurturing, love and consistency. He has really stolen my heart! I hope that he will remember these Friday night sleepovers with fondness and know how much we love him. I know that I will.
And one last item before I log off: we got our first strawberries this Friday night! As diligently as I've tried to be about picking off all the flowers, I missed quite a few and we now have strawberries. Four were ripe tonight, so of course, Sky and I had to pick them and treat ourselves! He was VERY excited and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
Sooo cute Amanda! And I admire your open heart.
