Feisty

Hello to everyone.

Rebecca had an opportunity to go to a women's conference in Colorado Springs today. It was a much-needed break from the house for Rebecca. She went alone, leaving Xavier and Dad to order pizza and watch B-grade 1950/60s SciFi movies all day.

One of the many women Rebecca met at the conference was a person who worked for a crisis pregnancy center. She and Rebecca got to talking. Of course, the topic of Xavier came up, and with it, the elevator speech about the pregnancy. Somewhere in this conversation, Xavier's independence and his growing insistence on doing things himself came up.

This woman told Rebecca that most boys who experience such struggles coming into this world are feisty like Xavier. "They're survivors," she told Rebecca. She stated this in a very encouraging way.
