Just this year, the boys' school inaugurated new, extended hours corresponding with a normal, full kindergarten day. Not many kids beyond the kindergartners stay until the end of the day. RC gets out of school two hours earlier than HRH.
Today, we were returning to school just a few minutes into Barack Obama's first press conference and I may have dawdled for just a minute in the car. I entered the building as two or three other mommies and children were exiting. HRH was one of two remaining students.
As we, ourselves left the building, HRH stopped and asked me to wait, while turning and heading back into the building. Just inside the door waited the remaining child. HRH handed the boy a drawing he had made that day and said to the boy, 'I want you to have this because my mom is here and yours isn't here yet.' HRH returned to me and said that he gave the boy the drawing because he wanted to make him feel better.
I don't have to tell you how proud this makes me.

What a great kid.
Awww, way to go! It's times like these that make mommyhood rock!
You know you've done good when your kid is kind.
YAY!Not only should you pat him on the back, but you should pat yourself on the back too! Love it!
Good job, mama!
I hope that there are children like yours in my son's kindergarten class in a few years. And I don't mean that I'll always be late picking him up. Much.
Sweetheart. Now, tell us your secret because kindness seems to be sadly lacking in my toddlers lately.
You have raised a wonderful little man.
So very sweet. (And this sounds like the new school?)
HRH is a doll. So lovely. You're doing a great job, MM!
Man. THAT is so cool!
Oh, the sweetness.
