Jackson was getting his diaper changed this afternoon, at daycare, when it became apparent that he had a pretty severe diaper rash (due to antibiotics he is on). While being changed, he started to cry. His teacher comforted him as much as possible, but it was a friend who was able to calm him down.
Ella was in her mohter's arms a short distance away. She saw Jack in distress and said "Jackson - hug." So her mother walked over to where Jackson was and Ella reached out to wrap her arms around him. It was only then that Jack stopped crying. As if the story couldn't be cuter . . .
After Ella's mom left from her visit at daycare, Ella was crying and utterly disappointed. The teacher said that Jackson ran right over to Ella and gave her a huge bear hug. Jackson doesn't even hug MOMMY on demand. His hugs are sacred - absolutely sacred. It touched my heart. He is a little angel. As my dear friend might say "that boy is tripping over his wings."
