a little dose of wisdom from a 5yr old

I wanted to share this today, I thought it was just one of those funny little mysterys that happen in life, only I don't find it just a mystery, but worth sharing.
the sun is out and shining bright, much like it was not even an hour ago,
not having the best of morning, I had much trouble putting a simple race car set together my 4yr old got last night, fustrated and feeling like a failure as I often do... not being able to do the simplest things in life,I started feeling really down on myself and feeling a little sad even for my kids cause I felt they deserved a much smarter mom then they were giving,
as you may tell self confidence has never been my strong suit and I struggle with it on a daily basis, most the time in quiet but today, for some reason in tears,
so my husband came home for lunch as put the simple set together in a matter of minutes, not making me feel any better!
after noticing the set needed batteries, (something we were unaware of when we bought it), I decided to get over myself, and packed up my 3 kids to walk up to the plaza where we would buy batteries. the plaza is only a 15 minute walk from my house,although with 3 kids can be a little longer, but its a walk we often do.
Half way there, I stop to get on Johnathon as I always do, and he looked really red and flush, I felt his his head and he was burning hot,
in fear that he had a fever, I turned us all around and came back home,
I put Johnathon on the couch, his red face had disapeared, I took his tempature, it was normal, he no longer even felt hot?? well isn't that weired I thought, I guess its hotter out then I thought, (Johnathon does heat up faster then usualin really hot weather) but today wasn't an overly hot day, after being back home for less then 5 min. it starts pouring rain outside!!still sunny out but raining! the last thing anyone likes is to get caught in the rain when their walking, so could you imagine how a little boy in a wheelchair who can not move his head would feel?? well today we luckily were not going to find out!
some may say it was just luck, but I believe it was Johnathon.
No he does not speak verbally, but I still believe he talk to us, just in his own Johnathon way! I believe he was telling us,"its going to rain, I want to go home".
he saved us all from getting soaked(and me waering a white t shirt, was greatful)as I finish writing this, it now dark outside and raining heavy, but my spirits are brighter,
as for my other 2 kids, yes they were disapointed at first about our trip to the plaza being cancelled, but nothing that a couple of ice cream cones didn't fix;)
