I''ve mentioned before that Dane is quite the intense little fellow. He also has such a sweet, caring side. This is the personality he reveals at preschool where his teacher calls him "a gentle soul." When she described Dane this way to Barton, I think he must have had a quizzical look on his face, as in "are we talking about the same kid here?" But, even as his parents, we get do get rare glimpses of this "alter ego" and rest assured that he is going to be a wonderful, compassionate adult.
Today, Logan was throwing a fit because he wanted to wear "The Big Shoes" to school. The Big Shoes are a pair of Airwalks that really do have quite a bit of bulk to them, hence the moniker. Anyway, Dane had already put on The Big Shoes so I kept trying to persuade Logie to wear different tennis shoes. Logie was not buying any of my selling points of the lesser, littler shoes and he was really starting to pitch of fit. Unprompted, Dane just took off The Big Shoes and handed them to Logie. Because that's the kind of sweet guy that Dane can be. Awww, makes me proud!
What a cutie... Don't you love it when your child surprises you like that? You and Barton must be doing something right!
