You know they say that you should catch your children doing something good?
I've just come back from dropping Padawan Learner at school. He lept out the car and raced for the school gate, he was in a hurry to meet his friends for the latest installment of the Indiana Jones game - whatever that is.
As he pushed the side gate to the school open he turned to wave goodbye and noticed that some adults were about to come through. He then stood holding the gate open until they went through, smiled and then went on.
Padawan Learner is a shy kid, he can barely look you in the eye. Holding a gate open may be a small thing but it made me feel so proud of him.
I can't wait to tell him this afternoon that I caught him doing something good.

What a darling! (quite obviously the product of good parenting)
I'd be proud too! Those little things show so much about a person.
Hi! Popped over from Peppermintpatcher because of your Gord Lightfoot reference. He's from my neck of the woods. Jack Semple (a local) has re-recorded many of Gord's songs on CD. I'm not sure whether it is available at iTunes or online but you may want to check Jack out!
What a good boy. And obviously very well brought up.
He is a credit to you and Firegazer...
And I bet he was thrilled when you told him you had caught him!
He was all smiles.
He is good little fellow - you obviously taught him well.
What a good kid!
As a fellow shy person, I say bravo, PL! And bravo to his parents for raising such a well-mannered child.
this is just delightful - the making of a great man to be sure - ya le
