Kind Words

One of the things we have been working on with the boys is using "kind words."  We often talk about showing kindness with them, and words like please, thank you, excuse me, and even bless you are phrases we are really practicing.  As a parent there are times where I just wonder what is sinking in!
Last night, Jonathan and I were sitting in the living room after putting the boys down just catching up on our day.  When I heard Levi start coughing.  Hooray for the ever changing weather in Houston, always causing someone to have a runny nose in our house.  So after a few coughs, I hear Luke quietly reply "Bless you."  I laughed so hard!  So maybe it wasn't a sneeze, but at least something is sinking in!

I don't have a great picture of them showing manners, but they
sure have a great example to look up to when it comes to showing kindness!
