Acts of Kindness Part 1

Today was a long day for me, the boys woke up with the chickens, and hit the floor running, with request to go swimming coming in at 7 am. By 4:30 pm I was running low on energy and ways to keep them going, so that they would pass out once they hit their beds.

I talked to Chris about that same time, and he suggested taking the boys to McDonalds for dinner. That way they can play and have dinner all in one shot. I have really been watching what we eat and how we spend our money, so McDonalds is a very rare outing for us.

They were ecstatic to be going! Liam loves running all about in the tunnels they have in the play area! They both scarfed down a cheese burger, and their apple juice in now time flat! You would have thought we were having a five star meal by how happy they were, and me being so disgusted in they crap that made them that happy...

Liam had taken the toy from his meal into the play set, and was playing with another boy (age 5 or so) and that boy lost his toy.

No biggy. Right?

Well, the boy went over and got his unopened toy and gave it to Liam. I was watching all this happen! My son, who wasn't really bothered by losing it, was completely confused when the boy gave him his toy...

I was looking at liam and the boy turns to me and says "It's fair, I lost his toy in there somewhere", pointing to the play set.

I was amazed at how that little boy handled that situation. He didn't have to give Liam his toy. Liam wasn't upset, his Mom didn't say to do it. He just did, out of the pure kindness of his heart.

It showed me that there are going to be good kids for my son's to find as friends! That little boy took away so many of my worries I have for my oldest son to start school this year!
