tonight when we got home from church drew was so excited about something. he said he had been thinking and he had a great idea but he couldn't tell us what it was. when ben went to get in bed tonight we discovered what drew's idea was. drew had stuck this note (for those that don't have children learning to write what they hear it says "you are a special kid") along with a candy bar on ben's pillow.
now, to know ben is to know that his love language is DEFINITELY words of affirmation. he is our little encourager. he thrives on getting told how much he is loved and he does a great job of using words to make other people feel special as well. he's always there saying "good job drew." or "you look nice mommy." and when he sees your smile because of what he said, he just glows.
so tonight when drew surprised him with this note he was SO happy. he kept telling drew thank you. he kept telling drew how excited he was. he went to sleep holding on to the note. i offered to put it on the dresser. but, he would not part with it. you could just see that drew really had made him feel like he was a special kid.
good job drew. you were a really nice big brother today.
