He is eligible to leave in June, but I'm not sure if he is going to decide to do that or to wait until the end of the summer. I'm so excited to find out where he will be sent!Mom2my10 @ 11th Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813012011182498512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-59085940633600257772010-01-30T12:22:08.621-07:002010-01-30T12:22:08.621-07:00Don't you just love it when your kids actually...Don't you just love it when your kids actually learn what you've been trying to pound into their head over the years?

And he knows that since you feel much better about everything, if when you go to bed at night, your kitchen is completely cleaned, he gambled that you would do them - and he was right :-} <br /><br />The 17 year old boy showed maturity in three levels here - <br />1 - because he KNEW that he might still be stuck doing the dishes anyways, and was willing to take that chance. And while he might not have been to happy doing them, he would have done them never the less. Maturity!<br /><br />2 - He is fully aware of both earthly and heavenly rewards. Maturity!<br /><br />3 - He pays attention to you enough to figure out which of his actions would be the most appreciated by you. Maturity!! His future wife will benefit greatly from this atribute!Cheryl B.http://thebzhousethatlovebuilt.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-8049453138736391272010-01-29T07:40:50.032-07:002010-01-29T07:40:50.032-07:00Hi!
