You made this for me?

January 18, 2010

A sweet friend of ours, Jessi, has been busy making blankets in honor of Garby's upcoming arrival. She finished Garby's blanket (a zebra striped one to match the wild animal theme) about a month ago and it is hanging over the crib waiting for her. Jessi also made one for big brother Abe, and she just finished it and gave it to him on Saturday. I wanted to share, because the sweetness of Abe in this was just a poignant reminder to me of what a special heart our little guy has. When Jessi first came, she gave me the blanket and I called Abe over. I said to him, "Look at this blanket that Jessi made! Do you know who this is for?" Abe answered, "Garby?" (Actually, he said what her name will be, but since that isn't public knowledge to all yet...) "No sweetie. Not this one. This one is for YOU! This is for big brother Abram." So I snapped a couple of pictures and while I was busy, Jessi told me that Abe put his head on the blanket, looked at her, and said, "You made this for ME!" It is, of course, now on his big boy bed, and every time he sees it he says, "Mommy, Jessi MADE this for ME!" Time and time again I'm reminded just how special God made our little guy.
