nice people

Liam and I had a fun day at the mall yesterday and made some friends. We went to the mall and their was just one other little boy playing who was about Liam's age and they quickly became friends. This little friend was there with his great grandma Dixie who was so sweet and made me miss my grandma so we started talking while the boys played. One of the things we talked about was how much both boys loved watching the train that runs around the mall. Every time they heard the whistle they would stop playing and run to watch the train come back to the station.

After a while Dixie said she was going to take her great grandson on the train and asked if Liam and I would like to come. Now I know Liam would love to ride the train but at $4 a person I never wanted to pay for it. When I didn't immediately respond she said "please come, don't worry I'll pay for it. I'd love for the boys to go together and we can keep talking". So we gladly accepted and the boys had so much fun on the train! I was only able to get one picture because the rest of the time the boys were turned around waving to people out the window :)

I know we may never see them again but it was one of the most enjoyable hours I've had this week. It was so nice to make a friend and for Liam to make a friend. It's also nice to have reminders that their are kind people in this world who are kind just because they want to be and not because they have to.

Thank you Dixie for making the day of a 2 year old boy who has been talking about it all week and my day too :)
