Being the mom to 3 boys, I have learned cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

When they don't know we are looking....

I picked up Luke from school today.  Since I'm also working today, I needed to take him to the sitter's house.  This means we drive in a different direction from home right past Dominic's school.  Luke and I noticed there were kids out for recess so we pulled over to see if maybe Dominic was outside.  Sure enough, Luke spotted him!

Recess must have just been getting over because the kids were lining up to go inside.  I saw Dominic run towards the building.  I also saw another child fall down in front of him.  Dominic and 3 other children ran on past.  For a moment, I was disappointed he didn't help.  But then...he turned around, went back, and offered a hand.  The other child got up and the 2 of them ran to the line together.

No matter what else happens today, I have had a parenting success.  My child helped another...
