My Dad was here recently for five days and the boys loved having him here. One of the things that he and Will did together was make a list of rules to live by. They wrote them out on yellow post it notes and put them on the wall in the kitchen. It was cute to watch them add to the list and refer back to the list on several occasions when behavior got a little questionable. I thought I would share the list.
* Always have a positive attitude.
* No lying.
* No spilling cereal at breakfast.
* Go to Ireland on your honeymoon. (This one probably didn't mean much to Will at five years old :)
* Always say, "please, thank you, and your welcome."
* Always tell the truth.
* Honor your Father and Mother.
* Always do your best in school.
* No fussing. (one of my favorites)
* Be respectful in Church.
* Think of others before yourself.
* Have a good, strong handshake.
* No whining!
