This kid! I'm proud of him. Kaiden turned 12 on Monday and when I think back over the past almost five years, I'm amazed and yes, proud of how far Kaiden has come! The other day he was forced to defend his beliefs to some of his best friends. They were saying that God didn't really create the earth. It was formed and everything on it formed from a giant earthquake. Kaiden was seriously disturbed by this. He just couldn't figure out how they could think that. He didn't think it made any sense that every single flower, tree, animal and people were created out of the blue with no thought or creativity. His friends refused to believe him, but he stood his ground. Later when he recounted the incident to me, I took the opportunity to teach him that everyone has a right to their own opinion and that it doesn't make them bad people, just people with different thoughts. I also told him that it means he can have his own beliefs as well and that his friends should respect that too! He's growing up, this young one of mine...
