After visiting the beach yesterday, my parents found miles of beautiful rolling trails overlooking the ocean. They went for a run/walk while I was sleeping. I woke up while my Mama was pushing me up one of the really steep hills. After watching her slow to a walk and exert some extra effort to get me up the steep grade...I told her "I think I can, I think I can". My mom got tears in her eyes as it was just what she needed to hear and I had so thoughtfully quoted one of my favorite lines from the book The Little Engine That Could. She says that memory is going in my baby book!
Oh so very sweet of you, Holden, to cheer on your mom while she pushed you up the hill. You will be a wonderful big brother very soon.

What a thoughtful boy! I'm amazed your mama had "slowed to a walk" which means she'd been running with that baby in her tummy! Way to keep at it, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteYeah Holden, your are so smart. You are going to be a Great Big Brother. Grandma D sure loves you.
