Voice From the Sky!

Today I went to pick up Brayden and just as he came out of the building he heard it, a voice from the sky. Was he receiving heavenly inspiration? Did the voice carry a warning, like "Beware the Ides of March,"? Was he singled out for recognition by the Gods? No.... but I'm not sure he could have been more pleased if he had. What Brayden heard as he emerged from the school was a girls voice coming from one of the windows above him. "Dude, Your fro is HOT!" He looked up to see who was so eloquently praising him but couldn't see anyone. He looked back to the side walk just in time to miss walking into a pole with a Handicapped parking sign. Suave to his core he only clipped the sign with his back pack. I love Brayden. People have been talking about Brayden's hair since he was born. His hair really is an amazing thing and like today when he emerged from the school, and the sun shines on his copper tresses it can be a little dazzling. I can totally understand how that poor girl watching out the window couldn't help herself when such amazing beauty burst forth in front of her and she could not sit quietly and let it pass her by.
All kidding aside Brayden is not proud or vain. People have always commented about his hair but the little old ladies in the grocery store really weren't his type. It has been a surprise to him all of the young female attention he has been receiving lately. When you grow to the height of a man in just one summer and the weight training didn't hurt either, I'm not sure you actually can have a realistic self image. But as his mother I am aware. I have to say that I am proud and I really think I am a little vain about my son (actually all my children). For me it is more than the hair, or the height, or the muscles it is the whole person. I never go anywhere with Brayden that I don't feel proud that he is mine.
