Quote of the Day

Today Kyle went to Alisa’s house after school for a playdate. I blogged about Kyle and Alisa in this post (click). Apparently a great time was had by all. Braydon picked up Kyle, and of course asked Ning (Alisa’s mom) how it had gone. Ning and her husband (Alisa’s dad) don’t speak a whole lot of English, but she managed to tell Braydon that it had gone great, and she said several times that “Kyle is a very good boy! So sweet!” (her quote, not ours) Kyle was beaming with happiness and he and Alisa hugged and kissed goodbye more than once. I always tell the boys that when they go to someone’s house for a playdate they need to do two things: 1) be polite and use their best manners [especially, saying “please” and “thank you” to the parents], and 2) play whatever their host wants to play and not make a fuss about wanting to do something different. {Note: I, unbeknown to the boys, get a little kick out of this because when they host playdates at our house I also tell them the same two rules— including that they need to “play whatever their guest wants to play and not make a fuss about wanting to do something different”! Really, they can’t win!! ;0}  Anyway, today Kyle was absolutely filled with pride with how well he did on the playdate, and what a great playdate it was. When he saw Braydon, the first thing he said was, (and he repeated it to me again later upon returning home), “I did everything she wanted to do, even though it was hard!” That’s right. That’s my boy. And what a good boy he is!   😉
