I swear, I've got the sweetest boy in the world :-)  We've been up to our eyeballs in Cub Scout Popcorn to deliver (something like 30 cartons full to deliver - wow...), on top of school, church and everything else; he's got a pretty rigorous school and extra-curricular schedule this year, and instead of complaining about how busy he is, he thanked me for putting the work into doing it along with him.  (Aww...tear :-) )

Ok, gonna brag on my kid a bit :-)  He took a job with a local business delivering flyers, for which he gets paid each month.  What did he do with his October paycheck?  He bought 3 tins of popcorn - one for his dad (so he wouldn't get into the tin that's for Ty's birthday, lol), one for himself (so he wouldn't get into the birthday tin :-) ) and one for me, as a thank you for taking him selling for 6 weeks straight.  (It was chocolate-covered caramel corn...yummmm :-) )  Tonight, he and Daddy were baking up some left over cookie dough, and he very carefully put 4 swirled chocolate chips on each one, or so I thought :-)  While I was resting and reading a book, he brought a cookie to me that he made "just for me" - with 7 chips in a circle, so there would be one in every bite :-)

Just the fact that he would think up things like that, on his own, tug at my heart - I am so blessed to have such a beautiful son.  Not saying that he has a perfect attitude every day - he doesn't - but he tries so hard, both to work hard to succeed, and to glorify God in whatever he does. 

Just had to put that in writing and share!
