The Innocence of a Young Child...aka...my lil man

Last night, we went to "Chooch's" (a pipefitter who Jason works with) house for a cookout. It was a really good time, and I got to meet a lot of guys that Jason works with. It is so nice to put a face with a name. :) He works with such a great bunch of guys! They all acted like brothers towards one another! It was funny to see. We brought the kids with and so did a few other pipefitters.

One guy had brought his wife, Mia, and their three kids. Their youngest daughter has down syndrome. She was playing with Brady and Anabelle on the swingset. Her speech wasn't very clear, so when Mia came over to check on her, Brady asked her, "Why does she always speak in Spanish all the time?" I just wanted to crawl under a rock! I didn't know what to say or do, but Mia, very nicely, explained to him that she was just a little different. She thought that what Brady said was just the cutest thing ever, and she said that she couldn't wait to tell her friend what Brady had said. Later that night, I apologized, and she told me to not even worry about it. They were such a nice family!

We ended up getting home at 12:30am. The kids had blast playing with the other kids. I think Anabelle had a crush on little Rocco (Chooch's son)! She was running in a little race and fell on the sidewalk getting a little scrape. The next thing you know, Rocco was bringing her out a water bottle. His mom told me that he came into the kitchen and said that he needed to get a water for a little girl who just fell...(awww!) The whole rest of the night Anabelle kept looking for him and wanted to play with him. :)
