He was just a wee little six year old when we met for the first time. It was the day before Mother's Day and Devin planned a special event so we would both remember the day forever. We went on a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls. I don't remember a lot about the ride, but I do remember that sweet little boy sitting next to me.
I am so incredibly proud of how Cody has handled the many changes in his life since then. He moved into a new house in a new community and started at a new school with new friends. He had a new mum in his life and new routines and new traditions.
He is maturing into such a thoughtful and kind young man. He makes his bed each morning and packs his lunch when he gets home from school. He is working so hard on his reading and writing and is astounding us with test results in his Bible, Math, Science and Spelling classes! He holds the door, saying "Ladies first" and helps people put their groceries on the conveyor belt. He is very aware of and concerned for other's feelings and is often there to give me a hug or pat my arm and assure me "it will be ok". He has become the apple of my eye.Each night I sneak into his room, long after he's gone to sleep, and I watch him. (usually in some contorted position that looks totally uncomfortable) I can't believe how lucky I am. To think that God found me suitable to be his Mum and brought him into my life when I fell in love with Devin... it's beyond my comprehension but I am so grateful.
We celebrated his big day by having dinner at Subway. Of ALL of the restaurants, that is where he wanted to eat. It was a great deal for us plus he was thrilled to get TWO six inch subs AND chips! LOL. The next day we hosted 10 little boys for a party and had family over in the afternoon. A great time celebrating this great boy.
Double digits. Time flies.
