My Tyler

A quick story about Ty.  He came home from School the other day excited to tell me about a new center they are doing at school.  They do centers everyday to work on spelling math etc.  So, he goes on to tell me that the new center is called postcards.  They get to pick someone in their class to write a postcard to and then they will be delivered the following Monday.  I said, "Wow buddy that sounds fun, who did you write your postcard to this week."  He says, "Gabriel"  Now of course to you all this means nothing, but let me tell you a little about Gabriel.  He is a little boy in his class who is really nice, but has some problems.  He is not well liked and very often teased.  There have been a few times when Tyler has come home very frustrated because this little boy was bugging him at school, but regardless, my kind son Tyler still has always tried to be nice to him.  So, I then asked Tyler, "Why did you decide to write one to him?"  He replied, "Because no one else in my class will write one to him mom!"  My heart melted, boy I am lucky to have such a thoughtful wonderful boy and what a lesson he taught me.  I definitely can't take credit for teaching him how to be so aware of those around him, but I am so happy he is.
