Our family was blessed by attending Adventure Week at Grace EV Free in La Mirada two weeks ago. What a blast! Dinner as a family each night, both boys were learning Scripture in fun and creative ways, the music was original and amazing, AND the parents got to enjoy each others company on the patio- complete with the Parent Cafe (sweet treats and coffee).
Each night Sawyer would go line up with his team (Zebra Galaxies) and I would walk Dempsey to his section where his team (Black Jets) would gather on a black blanket. Super awesome to watch my kids make new friends and have these awesome experiences. There was music, art, games, lessons... Incredible.
On the fourth night, Dempsey's class made telescopes out of paper towel rolls. Super cute to see the kiddos with them and the boys using them as weapons, of course.
Well, while Dempsey was playing with two other boys, a girl their age came over to the action. Dempsey immediately put his "weapon" down, touched the girl's shoulder as if to guide her away from harm, all while putting himself between her and the action/ danger.
My heart just melted.
I didn't tell him to do that. No one told him to do that. That is just HOW HE IS. I made sure to praise him up and down for that in the hopes that he would always view girls/ ladies that way. Not because they can't handle themselves, but because they are valuable and worth protecting!
