In a post today, Otis G tells how his 7YO son made him proud — not for being selected student of the week (which was determined by picking names from a hat) but by what he did with the honor. Seems the honor allows students to pick two other classmates to have lunch with him or her in the classroom. Otis G’s son had a coupla surprise selections. You can read the account in Otis G. Experience about it here.
Question: When did a child of yours do some unexpected kindness to another that made you proud?

Entirely on her own, my daughter chose to sponsor a child in Ethiopia out of her own money. She’s pretty responsible about sending the money in each month too.
My son has warmed my heart on any number of occasions upon which, despite the seemingly endless squabbling with his sister, he has wanted to buy her a gift that he knows that she will like.
