Have you ever noticed that there is always a line to tell you when your kid has done someting stupid or mean? Yet, there is only tumbleweed and wind when they do wonderful stuff? Being on staff at a church has always afforded my kids an extra 100 sets of parents. Someone is always quick to let us know when our little angels have allowed thier halo's to tilt and tarnish.
Today has been the polar opposite of the norm. Each one of my kids has had a random adult compliment them. The mother of one of Gabby's friends let me know how much she enjoy's her daughter being around Gabbby. She made a point to tell me how much more respectful and kind she is after Gabby has been over. And Jaden's teacher made a point to tell Edgar and I how hard he is working in class and how glad she is to have him. You have no idea how nice it is to hear those types of things. Today, I determmined to make a point to say nice things about other kids to their parents. What an encouragement to my kids and to me today.

That would be nice to hear! I hope to hear the same kinds of things as my kids grow up. Anything special you did besides beat them?
It's because they have a wonderful Papaw as their inspiration! Ha!
I agree, it is always nice to hear. By the way ... thanks for your lovely compliment about my two young'ns yesterday ... It was really great to see you...
