Mommy Brag..
Just a little brag… I’m a mommy, bear with me!
Last night, after we finished dinner at the restaurant, my mom took the boys to the bathroom while I settled the bill. The waitress came over and pointed to where Sebastian had been sitting and said, “That little boy that was sitting right there… he’s the politest little boy I’ve ever met!” I grinned, thanked her, and told her I’d be sure to let him know… and of course I did! As I told my mom about it, I said that I should have told the waitress, “Thank you so much! We homeschool.”
I tried to think of what he did that was so polite. He said “please” and “thank you.” He looked at the waitress when speaking to her and ordered for himself. When she asked him if fries would be okay, he asked her if she had salad. Other than talking like a baby a couple of times (something we’re working on), he behaved like a little boy should in a public place. Had the waitress not commented on it as if it were unique and unexpected, I wouldn’t have seen anything to brag about. I’m glad that she took the time to point it out to me.
This is the same son who would rather watch the Travel Channel than cartoons. He loves learning about the food and cultures of the world. He is equally fascinated by “Living with the Kombai” as he is with “Cyberchase” or “Curious George.” His favorite tv personality is Andrew Zimmer from “Bizarre Foods.” He also likes Anthony Bourdain, but thinks ”he shouldn’t smoke cigarettes because it’s bad for you.”
Kindergarten. At home. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
