Selfless action

Kimberly and I butt heads probably more than most mother/daughters. But it is moments like these that make me smile and see the beautiful woman to come.
Kimberly wanted to cut her hair off and donate it to Locks of Love. The main reason for cutting her hair is because she is tired of tangles and us fighting over her hair. But she knows the best thing to do with her long hair is give it to someone else. She did this 2 years ago and was very happy with short hair and proud to help someone else. This time around she was ready to cut it again and knew that it would grow back fast.

I am super proud of her selfless moment.

Wonderful Big Brother


Matthew has taken to being a wonderful big brother. I was wondering how he would act since we have a great time together but he has adjusted well. He loves Jacob so much and loves to entertain him. Even when Jacob could only see a foot in front of him, Matthew was wanting Jacob to see him show off.

One of my favorite brother moments was the other morning. Jacob fell sound asleep on his playmate and Matthew was watching his favorite show Dinosaur Train. So I hurried into the shower. Only 5 minutes is all I was in there and when I got out, I could hear Jacob fussing. Matthew came to the door to tell me that same thing. After I got dressed I came out to find Matthew trying to make Jacob happy. He was trying to get Jacob to take his paci. When Matthew saw me, he was just frustrated that he couldn't make Jacob happy. My heart melted that he cared for his little brother that much. I had to explain to Matthew that it wasn't his job.. he just needed to be a big brother. So sweet!
