September 23

After Isaac left his backpack at home yesterday morning and I had to drive back to get it, I told him that he needed to work on being more responsible. Then that was that, and we all moved on with our days.

This morning, this was on the family room table when I got up.

It's a to-do list that he wrote up for himself.

I love that Isaac tries so hard to do the right things. I'd forgotten about the backpack incident, but he clearly hadn't, and was making a conscious effort to be better organized (and of course, to please me).

It's really less about pleasing me and more about him being a good person, but I'm blessed that both of those apply.
