To the Very Core

You've probably seen it before...the poster with the faces and their corresponding feelings underneath... Well, I don't remember where it came from or how long it's been there, but we have a magnetic version on our fridge and every so often Grace or Dallas will go up to it and say something like "This is how I feel" pointing to one of the faces. I'm sure Alec has observed this from time to time, but he can't read yet, so I didn't think the faces held much meaning for him, and he's never actually taken part in the tradition.... 

.....until yesterday. After walking in on him in the bathroom, water running, with gum all over his hands {to which his response was: "It won't come off"!}

....He proceeds to go over to the fridge, points to THIS face, and says "Mom, I feel like this today"

He obviously knows himself better than I thought....He is who he is, through and through. And we absolutely adore him {to the very core}!
