Life of a seven year old...

This was a tough week for Ryder.  On Monday morning he found out that his best little buddy at school had moved back to India over Spring Break.  He was trying to be so brave and told us that sometimes life is like that and you just have to be tough...  Then we looked into his little eyes and saw his quivering little chin and told him it's ok to not be tough when your heart is sad...  We held him and just sat with him.  He is so relational and to have his heart hurt and there is no way to take it away or make it better was so hard.  But the truth is, that's parenthood...  I was so thankful to do this whole motherhood thing with Kit as my team mate...
Sometimes you just need to have your dad help with your carpool and sit with you while you do your homework (thank God he has his Dad's math genes...), make ribs for dinner, play catch with you at practice,  and let you know that everything is going to be ok...❤︎
