R-E-S-P-E-C-T


I promise not to turn this blog into a straight brag book for myself, but I do have to tell you how special Dallin is to me. Since the day Dallin was born, I would get comments from friends with babies Dallin's age; "You don't know how good you have it, he is such a sweet baby," "He is so calm, does he ever cry." Then as they became toddlers, a disapproving look from Lance or I and Dallin would never do that no-no again. He has not changed much in the six years since he was born and his school has quickly noticed he is a good example. His school gives six awards a year in different areas of leadership. In Kindergarten he won the "best citizen" award in his class. This year, Lance and I were already invited to go to another assembly in his honor for a role model of Respect. His teacher said at the assembly, "Dallin demonstrates a respectful attitude in everything he does. He takes care of his belongings, his responsibilities, and is thoughtful to his classmates. He has a caring heart, is honest, polite, and has a GREAT attitude! Awesome Dallin!" We love our Dallin and are very proud of his great example for his brothers!

What a nice award and compliment to you as parents! That tells you that you are doing A LOT right. It's not just that Dallin is a good kid, but that he also has great parents, too!
