There are many moments that my kids just shine and I completely gush over how wonderful they are. This is not really one of those stories, but begs to be told!

Yesterday was Joshua’s end of the year class picnic at a lake near the school. Brigs and I ran over to meet up with Joshy’s class and to surprise Joshy. While we were waiting for the Grade 1’s to arrive we decided to play on the playground. Brigs climbed up on this tall wooden platform and was so proud to be up so high. He was having so much fun that it attracted the attention of an older kid who was also there. He climbed up next to Brigs and was likely double Brigs size! Then my little sweet voiced boy says to the huge child next to him “you’d better get off here or I’m gonna punch you in the face!!”

Ok I was totally shocked. The kid could have easily beat the tar out of Brigs with one swoop. Amusingly, I think he actually found it funny and started to laugh a bit, that this little mosquito of a kid was threatening him. I of course talked with Brigs at length about his behavior and delt with it on the spot. But the thing I wanted to convey with this post is how the size of his body does not even come close to the size of his spirit! He’s just my sweet little feisty Brigs (must be all the Scottish blood in him).
