There are always so many things to be Thankful for, but one of the things that came to come to my mind today is Bladen.
He is in the first grade and already very gifted in the math world, understands and does fifth grade math, plays chest and wins, but also is still a little boy. Struggles to understand sentence structure (fourth grade level) and is reading Harry Potter, but says recess the best part of school.
I see this questing mind as an amazing gift, good for Blade, and hopefully good for the world some day.
I asked him why all his pants have a tear on that one leg at the knee, “is it because that is the one that hits the dirt all the time”?
“Yes,” he replied very seriously, “it is my useful leg”.
I had to laugh.
