the A-list

I was putting Sam to bed the night of Grace's birthday party and I decided I needed to tell him that he had made me so proud that day. I told him that I was proud and impressed because he was such a good boy at the party and because he had let his sister have her special day without even getting upset or jealous that it wasn't his special day.

I said, "And that means that you are getting to be a very big boy."

And he put my face in his hands and answered very seriously, "And that means that you are invited to my birthday party."

Whew! And I was worried I wouldn't make the list!
