A Moment to Make Me Proud

It was sunny outside yesterday, though not very warm, but we decided to enjoy some fresh air.

Will was racing one of the cars he got for Christmas down the driveway
then tracing its path with chalk to see how far it went.

After school let out all the neighborhood kids migrated over and
started a game of football.  Will wasn't quite old enough to keep up
or get the ball but he was a really good sport about it.

I have to be a typical mother here and take a minute to brag on my son.  After the boys started playing football one of the little girls from next door came over and wanted to play too.  She asked repeatedly to join in but the boys were ignoring her (except for one who told her she could be a cheerleader!)  Finally Will went over to her and told her she could play too, but he wasn't running the game so his attempt really didn't help.  After she asked a few more times Will went over to one of the other boys and told him that she wanted to play and that it wasn't nice not to let everyone play.  After that, she got to play!  Wasn't I the proudest mother in the world!!
