Compliments

Last week the boys went with Tim to work for "Take Your Child to Work Day". He works at an Upscale Independent Living Facility and they had a day planned out for the kids including tours, make your own pizza for lunch, art class or TV studio, Wii tournament/spa treatment/bacci ball, etc. Yeah, not much work going on. They spent some time with their parents, but mostly the residents gave them the tours/classes.

Andrew loved the TV studio. He got to work the camera while a resident interviewed some of the other kids. It was aired lived on their internal network. Steven won the Wii bowling tournament with 7 strikes in a row!!!

They were so tired from all of the walking, they were in bed by 8:15...and asleep. Way early for Andrew.

Yesterday one of the residents (the head of the residents organization) stopped Tim in the hall to tell him that our boys are the most well behaved, well mannered children she has ever seen (better than her own grand-children). They held the doors for everyone, said yes Sir and no Sir, please and thank you, shook hands, etc. She doesn't know what we are doing, but keep it up! Wow...so nice to hear.

Glad she doesn't see us at homework time!

How they act outside of home tells alot more than their behavior at home! Kudos to you! Always feels good to get a small pat on the back!
