I mUst tEll yOu whAt JJ diD
We had to pick up my parents from the airport tonight. I was as usual running late but had to nurse Elsie before we left. JJ came in to tell me that someone down the street was having a lemonade stand. He needed money desperately. So I told him to go look in his piggy bank. He then told me that he had moved the chairs. Let me preface this by telling you that on Saturday my kids had a lemonade stand of their own. So when he said chairs I thought that he had gone and set up chairs at the lemonade stand. This infuriated me. Not only where we late, now I would have to wait for JJ to go and undo what he had done. So of course I said in my mean mom voice "JJ what were you thinking? Why do you do this?" He looked at me so confused. I said "you better hurry and go get those chairs NOW!" He said "Out of the suburban?" You see we had switched cars so that I could pick up the folks. My car seats were laying on the driveway and I needed to put them in the suburban. In shock I asked JJ "What did you mean by chairs?" He said that he meant car seats. I was blown away. He did something without being asked and I really needed the help. I must say that he did a perfect job also. This touched my heart so much that I had to tell everyone. When he puts his mind to something he really is amazing. Thank you JJ. I love you and really needed that.

Aaah, JJ, you are so sweet! You are so kind and thoughtful. What 8 year old thinks that way? Good work!
Good job JJ! I am impressed he knows how to put them in. They can be tricky!!
What sweet children you have! JJ must be really coordinated...I still struggle with car seats. And how cute that Ellie is Elsie's protector.
Thank you JJ for helping your mom. You are the best grandson! I love you.
It was easy to put Elsie's car seat in because it had picture instructions on the car seat! This is JJ by the way! not Mama
Oh my gosh! You have a sweetest son ever!
Great job JJ. You were really smart to look at the pictures to make it easier to help your mom.
haha JJ you're awesome! Those picture instructions usually just confuse me more. I love you bud!
That is so cute I love that he did that. So he even secured them and everything? That is pretty amazing if he did because I even have a hard time doing that sometimes. What a good boy. By the way that is cute that you cried when you saw that picture of us your such a sweetheart.
What a little sweetie, I am impressed!
What a kid! I love it when kids catch you off gaurd with their natural goodness. Way to go, JJ.
Man those moments are so memorable!!
What a stud! I love moments like that! Way to go...you must be doing something right!!! The girls look so cute at their dance recital. I can't believe how big Elsie is getting. Are you ready to come to scrapbook night yet?!!
JJ...what a man! You are so awesome!
That's so cute. It brought a small tear to my eye because I have gotten mad at my kids when they were just trying to help. What a cutie!
