Owen

Although Owen lives in his own little world of books and stories, and never seems to know what's going on around him, he can be very practical at times. He's starting to think about what he wants his charity "project" to be in December. His initial thought was collecting food for a food pantry or to feed the homeless. I told him to think about things that matter to him, or things that he wouldn't want to live without. He said that he wouldn't want to live without a house or books but neither mattered if he didn't have food. He'd be dead. That's one way to think about things.

God

Yesterday Rion asked me if I had three babies in my belly. When I said no, and that there weren't going to be any more babies in there, he announced he was going to ask God to put them there. From the look on his face you could tell he was tired of waiting on us to give him more siblings. If God comes through for him, we will have Kai, Cy, and Ty. Months ago, Mike and I promised that if we ever have triplets, from my belly, that he could name them. Thought it was a safe promise. :)

On a separate note, when listing the four things he was thankful for at school one was Jesus and one was God. Apparently he is getting something from church even though he says that he doesn't like going.

So Proud!

We were so proud of Rion! He has the biggest heart when it comes to giving and helping others. After donating his birthday collections to the Hinsdale Humane Society, he was added to their mailing list. Typically I throw away the fundraising mail, but yesterday he opened one. Immediately, he ran upstairs to get his only $1 and stuck it in the envelope to help their dogs.
