I took the kids with me to a Policy Council meeting the other evening because Kenny had a game to referee. They usually have someone there to watch all the children during the meeting but mine never go because they are afraid to miss something. This evening was no exception except there was another child there that would not leave. That made me feel a little better. We were sitting in the cafeteria waiting for everyone to get there and the kids were warming up enough to venture a few feet from my side. They made it to the end of the bench to see what the other kid was up to and I noticed Jake kept looking back at me. Every one in a while he would smile and I would smile back at him and pretend not to make a big deal out of them actually playing with someone else. Jake walks over and give me a hug and asked me if I was ok. When I asked him why he said because I looked so lonely sitting there by myself and wanted to know if I wanted him to come back and sit with me. I assured him I was absolutely fine and very happy that he had found someone to play with. He gave me a sweet little smile, hugged my neck and said "I love you mommy" and went off to play with his new friend.
