Every Tuesday Taylie has dance class from 1:45-2:30, so the boys and I will run errands or their favorite: exploring the Dollar Tree. They have so much fun finding little treasures and looking for something for "their best girls", their sisters. They open their car doors, help them out of the car and escort them and me into where ever we are going. They love to be gentleman. They walk my visiting teachers to their cars and open their doors too. It warms my heart to see them try to be gentleman. We have had to help them learn that it is okay to ask if they can help an elderly person down the hall at church or to their car. It is not okay to loudly tell them "You are old, let me help you" over and over again.
The Dollar Tree employees are so nice to my kids and love to ask them questions and how school is going. Just don't tell them they have the same face. I think they chased that employee half way around the building telling him that they are twins! It was pretty funny.
Two weeks ago while waiting to check out they heard the customer in front of us say the sleeping medicine her doctor put her on makes her forget her alphabet in English and in Spanish. And the next thing I know my boys are singing their ABC's at the top of their lungs for this women. She was very friendly and asked them to help her sing it so she could remember. So their duo became a trio and they started to gather quite the crowd. My children love to preform, they have never been the shy type and so of course they were delighted with the attention they were receiving. The lady thanked them for helping her remember. As the cashier started to ring up our purchases of Valentine decorations the woman thanked them again for singing with her and asked them to sing it one more time. They happily obliged and the trio put on one last performance of the Alphabet song which was greeted with a round of applause from the workers and a few other customers. Which pleased them very much and made their day.
While I am sure not all of the customers where happy to hear the alphabet. To this mom, whose babies where preemie, and have had a hard time learning their alphabet and recognizing letters it made my heart swell with joy. They have picked up so much these last three months and are enjoying Kindergarten so much. They hate when the weekend comes or holidays because it means they will miss school and their teacher Mr. Meilkhe who they just adore. I am so glad that they are loving school and can't believe that my little boys are old enough to be there.
We love you AJ and Austin and are so proud of the young men you are becoming, your caring for others, and how hard you have been working at school. You are both going to do great things if you keep on studying and being the gentleman you so love to be.
So if you are ever bored on a Tuesday afternoon between 1:45 and 2:30 just stop by Dollar Tree, because you never know when you might be serenaded by two of the most handsome boys you will ever see.
