Scout, we make our own luck. Don't minimize your efforts and your strength. You have made the good things in your life happen. I'm a big believer in signposts and use that analogy with my children frequently. Little reminders when we are off track to get back on and when we are on to stay there. Yes, your S sounds like a wonderful little boy. Get a diary and record the things he says. Those are worth preserving. The kids and I have many a pleasant memory both in the saying of those things and in the reliving of them.
