Jason seems to be on a roll the last couple of days. On Sunday we stopped at the Starbucks in Target. Jason asked if he could have an oatmeal cookie and when I went to collect the coffee drinks that Tom and I'd ordered, the young woman who was serving said to me, 'Oh, your son is so polite! He asked me ever so nicely if he could please have a cookie and when I gave it to him, he said 'Thank You.' He is sooo cute!' I thanked her and repeated what she'd said to Jason, figuring that he deserved to know. At the same time, I had to wonder at her surprise that a child would know to use please and thank you...
Today we went to the gym. When I came back to collect the boys, the lady who runs the child care room came to me and said 'I just have to tell you, your son is amazing. He is so smart and clever -- but more than that, he is so kind! I watched him with his little brother and he is so patient with him! Even when his little brother grabs a toy from him, he doesn't get upset or throw a tantrum. And he plays very nicely with him. Your son is really very impressive. I thought you should know.' So again, I repeated what was said to Jason -- it is always nice to know that someone other than your family think you are special...
