Eagle Scout in the Making


He's growing into a little man now. Tonight was his first night of Cub Scouts. He has waited so long to be a boy scout.  So many years watching Kylie do a Girl Scout and talking about how he is going to sell more cookies than her. We had to explain that boy scouts don't sell cookies. They sell popcorn. So once he figured out that he would say that he would still outsell her just in popcorn. I haven't heard much of the details of how the night went but he is really excited about it and I had to persuade him to take off his uniform so he wouldn't get anything on it at the table. Jay will be his Pack leader or Den leader or whatever they call it. I am so glad that they have something that they can do together. He never really bonded closely with Landon when he was a baby. Landon is so much of a mommy's boy that he really doesn't give Jay the time of day. So I'm so happy that they have this to do together. I just hope that he sticks with it. For a few years at least. He will gain so much from scouts that I just can't teach him.
