The Love of a Child

The pure uncomplicated love of my son has helped me get back on track today.
With funds being tight I had planned a Gavin and Mommy day . Nothing too exciting, mostly errands and the purchasing of new lunch box for him. We had dropped Claire off at daycare and drove into High River just Gavin and me. We first stopped at the bank and as I was at the teller the older gentleman beside us hadn't noticed he had dropped his gloves. I had pointed it out to Gavin and he instinctively went to help pick up the mans gloves for him. However in typical Gavin style he had crouched down, picked up the gloves and still crouched lifted the gloves above his head and moved them back and forth like a snake for the man to see . The man, the tellers and myself all laughed so hard at how sweet and innocent he is. I then took him to the Salvation Army to look for some books and videos for them. He then said to me "why don't we look for a lunch box here?" He didn't care if it was brand new or where it came from . He was just excited that it was blue ! I was excited it was $1.50. I then said to him I would like to share a burger ,  fries and ice cream with him and we need to get gas. I asked him which one we should do first? His response was we should get gas first because he didn't want to have to push the car to get his ice cream. I am so fortunate to have this amazing child in my life. To remind me of the simpler things in life and find joy in every little part of my day. Thank you Gavin for giving me a glimpse into your little world today.

Now to stay positive as money is tight but love and joy is strong.
