October 14

I love watching my kids do little, fully unprompted things to be helpful to others.

Every day after the dismissal bell rings, Isaac fast-walks to the gate, just so he can stand there and hold it open for the small wave of kids heading out to meet their parents or day care providers in the pick-up lane.

I don't know why he enjoys the task so much, but he clearly does, and it clearly gives him a sense of accomplishment and a chance to show extra friendliness, as he also takes care to say good-bye to each and every kid he knows as they exit.

It's a small thing, but a good one nonetheless. And I'm glad I've noticed it.
