When Anna broke her arm we were told that she bruised her elbow when we went to Urgent Care. On the way home from the UC Anna was so nervous and sad about how it hurt and afraid to move. Scott said "It is OK Anna, I will let Winnie jump and nibble on me instead of you. I will make sure she does not get to you." Really??? He actually said that to his little sister! I was so impressed that he thought that much of her to protect her from Winnie. (Winnie was 5 months) That type of behavior is what we STRIVE to do wtih our kiddos. It just made my heart melt.
Scott, you give Anna your goggles because she learned how to go underwater with them and you knew that she would rather have yours then the pink ones.
Another great moment that you have had was at school. A couple of your friends were making fun of another classmate about her Art. You stood up for her and told your friends that that was not OK and that they should not make fun of her like that. They did not think that you were "cool" for doing that and you still stood your ground and stood up for a classmate. That night we told you that we would be more proud of you for doing something like this then answering the hardest math problem in the world! Keep up the good work, Scooter! We hope you continue to make the right decisions in life. It will get you far.
Lastly, you were a part of Vacation Church School last week and teachers and ministers came up to me and described how much of a leader you were. What a super fantastic compliment to be given! I really hope you continue to present yourself in public like you did this past week!
