Hi-Yah!

Yellow belt in the howwwse!

testing

He did it!

patiently waiting

In addition to all that brawn (all 37 pounds, eat your hearts out ladies), my boy has a sensitive side.  They did jump rope for heart at school.  I read a little card about a success story.  This little girl had heart transplants at 13 months and again at 6 years.  I got a little choked up thinking about the donor families of such little babies.  The kids asked why and when I explained, Zeke silently disappeared.  I found him in tears in his room, unconsolable because those little kids had died.  The tears lasted for at least 30 minutes and I couldn't say anything to make him feel better.  Sweet little thing.
