Rhett

Rhett is the best big brother to all his siblings. He really dotes on Ms. Emma. He has such a tender heart that I have to be very careful about what I say.

On Sunday I told him he was handsome and then I asked if he knew that, he said he did. I hope to create confidence in my children! And he is getting more confident in himself.

We asked him if the kids tease him at school for any reason. He said they tease him because he won't watch rated R movies and that he can't play on Sunday.

We are scoffed at some of the things we do as adults so hopefully he will let these things roll off him. I don't know that teasing will ever go away, only his attitude will make the difference.

Rhett loves legos and now is into bionicles. He really never got into action figures so it is interesting to see that bionicles are cool to him.

Rhett is now a boy scout. It was pretty cool to watch him get his arrow of light and see this milestone accomplished! He will be twelve before we know it!! He will be a deacon and will be able to go to mutual. ARG!

Maybe it is because he is my oldest but everything he does it seems to mark more time on myself. I am excited to see the great accomplishments of my kids but I would like to shove them in a box and not let them out. hmmm I guess I am more committed to writing these things down and recording our moments. Time is marching on...

Can you see what I have to put up with... he thought it was a kick to be a goof ball in all the birthday pictures! I do love Mr. Rhett!

I wish I could write this in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS!!!! I LOVE MR. RHETT!!!!! that was a lovely and true post about our oldest Grandson. He is so excellent with little kids. It makes me sad that kids make fun of him for doing what is right! I know he will always be build up and fortified at home. Thank you for being such a great mom, Cyndee. And you are right, you only have one chance to raise them! So enjoy and savor each day! Hugs and Hugs to Mr. Rhettster. You just live too far away! sniff sniff. G ma BB

I will tell him about your comments! Thanks for loving us even though we are far away. I ache when I think of what we are missing there but then I think of what we are learning here and that just can't be replaced either.

I do have wonderful kids!
