We just got back from a trip to Colorado for a Wedding. I had to take all four kids on a plane and have them behave at a night wedding. While we were traveling we of course had some little fits here and there but my kids did great. Every where we went we got compliments on their behavior, including the airplane!!! Sometimes I feel like I am super strict and mean but when I get compliments on what nice little boys I have it really makes me feel like we are doing something right.
My husband made a joke and said "Does it make you happy that they are good or that we were able to pull the wool over so many peoples eyes and make them think we have well behaved little boys?" I laughed because to be honest it was a little of both but hey, I will take the compliments when I get them.
