Proud of my army of soldiers!

Today my oldest boy experienced his first dose of persecution. He proudly put a Yes on 8 Sticker on his backpack. We sat them down and had to explain what we were fighting for. As we were explaining it our young daughter matter of factly said, kids need a mom and a dad. So, after school he was waiting for me to pick him up and a kid came up to him and told him he was going to get spit on if he didn't take his sticker off his backpack and rip it up. He is not much of a talker so he just ignored him then told me all about it right when he got in the car.

Later that day we went sign waving and both boys wanted to be a part of it. They stood there proudly waving their signs. My younger boy kept thinking the flip offs were thumbs up and would get so excited when we would get one. It was so funny. Then a man drove by passed me then looked right at him and gave him a thumbs down. He was crushed! This broke his heart and his sign dropped low. He yelled down to me that he got a thumbs down. I assured him it was okay and told him to hold it high and smile. He then turned. Took a soilder stance and held that poster as high as he could. He was proud to hold that sign! I am so proud of my strong kids!
