Joaquin is a pretty considerate kid and I am reminded of this constantly by things he does.

The other day I was cleaning the kitchen after dinner and it was obvious that I was very tired. Who knows if I was being cranky or not, but it was clear to Joaquin at least (who pays attention to these things) that his mama was exhausted. I was starting to make lunch for him and he looked over at me and said, "Mom, you can just make me PB&J...I'm easy."

He was trying to lighten my load, just a little, in the only way he knew how. I am enjoying watching them grow up so much, especially when I can see whispers of the people they are becoming.
