JUST DO IT

This morning, as I was pulling up to Little T's school to drop him off, there was a girl walking up the long sidewalk which also led to the same front door of the school.   As she walked across on the cross-walk in front my car, I told Little T, "You need to hold the door open for that little girl." 
Little T:  "Why?"    Big T:  "Just do it." 


So, Little T saunters up to the door, luckily barely before the little girl gets there.  He pulls open the door with a 'rolling-the-eyes' look at me and Big T in the car.  
We made sure we were still there before leaving, to make sure he did it.  ;)  
We smiled and waved really big, and I gave him a 'thumbs-up', which in 'Mom-to-sports-kid talk' is "GREAT JOB!!!" 
(It's one of our 'signs'....)  :)    



Luckily, SHE didn't see that look he gave us, and his 'chivalry act' was still intact.  :)    I hope he made her heart smile.   I know mine did.   


Thank you for your help, Big T.....glad to know these lessons aren't going unnoticed.  You are an awesome example as a big brother.  <3


Here's to bringing back 'Chivalrous Acts'.....
one step at a time....
one door at a time....
one 'crazy-Mom-look' at a time...
G   :)

P.S.    SOMEDAY.....WE WILL WORK ON THESE:   ;)

INSURED MEETING :)

I don't remember, when I was young, even knowing about or being concerned with insurance....or real world stuff....maybe because the commercials weren't pounded into our heads then....on every channel.....or maybe because we ONLY had 4 channels.
< I can hear my kids do a 'gasp' when they read that... ;) >  

However....

This morning, after seeing several Allstate Insurance commercials,
Little T said to Big T..."You don't HAVE to get Allstate...." 
Big T said, "We don't have Allstate."
Little T, "Well, what do we have????"
Big T, "Geico."


Little T....smiling big..."Oh.... so WE get to MEET that LIZARD!!!!"  :)


(I hope so...I think that 'lizard' is hilarious!!!   :D   G
