I love it when my kids are proud of themselves. And Brady was definitely pleased with himself this morning after he managed to scale the sign at the park next to the school:

He asked me to take this picture, so of course I obliged.

It's not that I think we're supposed to be full of ourselves; as a matter of fact, I think that's exactly what we're not supposed to be. However, I think these early moments of pride are blessings from God Himself, and that they serve as our earliest opportunities to feel good, look up, feel gratitude and say yeah, thanks for every little thing!.
