The Best in the World

First, let me start by saying that my son Dawson is quite possibly the most complimentary 4 year old...maybe any age person...that I've ever met. He notices even the smallest details and makes a point to compliment those things.

For instance, Dawson was at my parents house the other day, and my parents had recently repainted their bathroom and gotten new accessories. Well, Dawson just went on and on about how much he loved the new paint colors, towels, even the "winter scene" picture.

It's not just obvious things like a new bathroom, but even the little things like the pajamas I'm wearing or Kevin's shirt or Abigail's behavior.

Lately, he has turned to complimenting my food, and I have to say I feel like a hero of the kitchen these days. We made some cookies together the other day, and he continued to talk about how they were the best cookies in the world. Not just to me, but to Kevin as well. I overhear him and Kevin downstairs talking, and Dawson's telling Kevin how "Mommy makes the best cookies in the world."

He's just one big compliment, and it's so endearing. I'm so thankful for the fact that Dawson takes in his surroundings and takes the time to positively comment on it. He's an amazing little boy!
