Oh How I Love my Cody!!

Do you ever have that moment of just really being grateful for your kids? This week I was really grateful for Cody. We finally got over the stomach issue, but then Cody started complaining about his throat. So Monday I took him to the doctor and yeap....he had strep throat. Which meant we would get to spend the next day together because he wouldn't be going to school! I was looking through some pictures of my little guy and I was reminded what a fun kid he is. He is my cuddler...he doesn't ever leave the house or the car without giving me a minimum of 2 hugs and telling me he loves me! He is getting so great at reading! He is reading everything he can....it is so fun to see him doing so well in an area we have struggled with all year long. The other day I came home and saw him just laying on the bench doing his reading.I grabbed my camera! Couldn't pass up this moment!!Last week Cody had his first grade program at school. They did the program "BUGZ". Cody was picked to be a firefly. I was told he needed black wings. The only wings I had were the girls old dress up fairy wings. When I pulled them out Cody immediately said, "I am not wearing those pink wings. Maybe purple, but not pink." I assured him I would make it so there wasn't any pink showing. I cut off the pink elastic and he helped me spray paint the rest. When we were all done he said, "what about the jewels?" I told him those had to stay, but nobody would notice them. He was such a good sport. I managed to make up a neat way to attatch the wings to him, we tied his antennas on a headband, and for the finishing touch added some nice big "eyeballs." He was so cute and did a great job in his program.The cutest firefly of the bunch!!
Cody is my little helper. Always eager and ready to help with house cleaning and especially yard work. While he was home with me the other day he helped me plant all our flowers. It was so fun to spend time with him outside. He is such a hard worker. I had a few good laughs at some of the things he said, but most of all it was really fun spending the day with him. I love my little Cody and I am so glad he is part of our family!
