You’ve Got a Great Kid

We have a message on our answering machine from a neighbor. After his message, he told us what a great kid we have, so nice and polite. I saved that message to remind me, in times of need, that he is a great kid.

I realized that it made me feel good to have someone else reiterate something that I already know. The last time our babysitter was over, I appreciated her politeness and the loving care she gave our children. I called her mom and told her so. Sometimes our children don’t always behave with us as we’d like. It’s good to know that they are nice and respectful to others.
