Brigden was insistent on wearing this pink striped winter hat in mid July just because he wanted to and he wore the gloves as he worked in the dirt next to his daddy in the front yard. He couldn't care less what people thought of how he looked, especially his family, just that he was happy wearing it and that was all that mattered.
The other night we were driving home from a late night activity as a family and Brigden, who frequently gets excited to see the moon, cheered to us all, "Look! Look! The moon is smiling at us!" We looked and sadly couldn't see the same smile that Brigden could, but knew that with his persistent cheering, as he told us again that the moon was smiling at us, it was most likely smiling at him.
This might have been imaginative, but it is really indicative of his cheerful outlook on life. The child is gifted in being a true optimist. He wakes up with a smile on his face and unfortunately goes to bed with one as well. I say unfortunately because sometimes you just want the child to calm down and concentrate on the task at hand, but he really struggles to do so because he finds humor or happiness in everything, even his mother's stern and angry face when necessary. But, seriously, could we find anything worse to complain about than an overly happy child? What a struggle for us as parents, eh? We love Brigden and adore him even more than everyone else that meets him and his dimples! What a golden treasure he is in our family!
