Smiles from Miles

Miles smiles for Dad

I was surprised (pleasantly) by how perceptive Miles is about our "family". I've been stressed out a lot lately by work stuff - been grumpy around the house and generally probably not a lot of fun to be around. So, one morning last week, just out of the blue, Miles sat down at his table pulled out his stamps and some scrap paper I had brought home and began scribbling and stamping away. I was in a rush (as usual - already thinking about work) and he asked me for his scissors and I just wanted him to sit down for breakfast.... So I eventually got his "kid" scissors in hopes that he would finish his project and sit with me... I was surprised when he came into the kitchen and gave me this slip of paper with smiley faces on it cut out from his scribbles. He said "Daddy - I made this for you so you'll be happy today - OK?" I carry it in my billfold now and lately, I look at it everyday at least a couple of times when I need that attitude adjustment. It works every time. He's got one for Mom also. What a kid - of course! I love him.
