77Kids Do Good Day RECAP

Yesterday came and went rather fast. I was really looking forward to sharing what I knew would be an awesome exerience with Boston.
And he was exactly what I thought he would be.
A Rockstar.
When we first arrived-he was really shy...but seriously, within minutes he was playing cars and being all friendly with the residents of a senior center in Bryn Mawr.
It was humbling to me.
It also reminded me 2 things...
1) I have the best kid in the world... 2) Life is short & precious.
I almost cried when he started hugging these two sweet little ladies sitting next to us. I chuckled cause one was Jewish and she put her thumb on his forehead after he hugged her. She said something, then sweetly asked him 'have you ever heard that before'? When she first started doing it-he backed up with the 'what on earth?' thought.. then when I said-'it's ok, it's ok' he went back and let her finish. Even though we aren't Jewish-if it gave that sweet woman a piece of mind... then allbeit!
Here's a little recap from our morning. I was so tired last night when I did it-I hope it turned out ok.
Thanks 77kids and TheMotherhood for the wonderful opportunity to be apart of such a great event.
Disclosure: Although I was compensated for being apart of this event-I thank The Motherhood and 77kids for the reminder of how precious life really is.

Joey... *tear*... what a great video. I totally missed when Boston was hugging the residents - what a special little guy you have there. It was a great day and I'm so glad we were able to bring a litte sunshine into some other people's days yesterday. I too was reminded how precious life really is - and how short! Seize the moment!
Oh my goodness, this is so sweet. What an awesome cause. Your little guy is so darn cute!
Well Miss Joey.......I believe you.....have found YOUR voice. :) xoxoxoxoxo
You brought a tear to my eye. And you are so right, life is short. But what better proof of how precious it really is!!!
I think Elizabeth said it best you found your voice. I could see the warmth that Boston gave to the ladies . I felt their hearts warm from the glow of Boston. This is your best video that touch on the loneliness of age.
I'm so proud to be your mom
Wow. It seems like forever since I've talked to you! I've been bopping around and I've been horrible on Twitter. I'm glad you popped over to my blog. I'm finally getting my stuff in order and can blog hop properly now :)
