Parenting is so rewarding

You know you're doing something right when your 4 1/2 year old son befriends a mute girl confined to a wheelchair at church and thinks nothing of it. He pushes her around, helps her play, and he has even made her a bracelet. Today he thought we were nuts when we told him how proud we were of him (and I had tears in my eyes!). He truly sees her as another classmate, not different at all. He knows he can be friends with anyone, no matter what they look like, how old they are, if they are confined to a wheelchair, or can run like the wind. He sees the heart of everyone around him.

And that makes our hearts swell with joy and love for him. Seth is truly growing up.
