Manners, Manners and More Manners

We had Spencer over to play today. The boys played dinosaurs, Kung Fu Panda and cars. They played chase and Hide & Seek. They played in the tent and watched "Chicken Little". They ate enough food for lunch to feed a small country. They also discussed who was bigger, what they like to do at Buddy & DeeDee's house and where all the white clouds had moved to today since we had dark rain clouds at our house. (Alabama? Texas? Florida, maybe? China? Perhaps London?!) All things you'd expect from two very active, crazy four year-old boys.

The thing that struck me most, however, was just how darn sweet and polite they were to each other. I overheard the words "Please" and "Thank you" and "Here, you can play with it" more times than I can even count today - from both boys. There wasn't a single cross word or argument - a huge feat for two four year old boys with very strong, and very different, personalities. Just lots of sharing, imagination and laughing. I was very proud of both of them.

Spencer, we hope you can come back soon!!
