Trey Boy

Your Smile
by Janet Gresham

My child,

Your smile tightens our heartstrings,
pulling our love into a great big bow.
Your smile streams like sunshine through trees,
sprinkling laughter in the shade.

Your mind may never ponder metaphors.
Your eyes may never follow clouds.
Your feet may never sampler barefoot.
Your fingers may never pen a letter.
Your voice may never say "I love you."

Yet, my child,

You are granted the power to teach patience,
hope,
joy,
grace,
sacrifice,
unabridged love.

To those who pause their world
long enough to know you,
you give yourself and smile.

Blue and Gold Dinner

In February was the Blue and Gold Dinner for the Cub Scouts. It was a great night. Trey received his wolf badge and some arrow points. Each boy was spotlighted and one of the questions they asked the parents of each boy was "If your boy was a super hero who would he be?". I told them, Super Man, because Trey is super and tough!

We had the boys display some of the things they had done in scouts this past year. Trey had his "collection" of textures, airplane and rocket made at day camp, bean bags, and derby car.

Trey loves Cub Scouts, he loves to be there with the other boys and doing the activities. The boys are really good with him too! :)

The last Wednesday in January Paul and I were gone to Florida so I had my mom take Trey to cub scouts on that day. Well, the other leader had changed the activity so I wasn't aware that they would not be at the church house. My mom took Trey to the church house to find that the wolves were not there but the bears were and the leaders found out where the wolves were so my mom could take Trey. As my mom was wheeling Trey out of the church she said he started the most sad little cry and whine she had ever heard. He thought he wasn't going to scouts. And where they got to the place where the scouts where he was all smiles.
