Tonight at dinner I reminded the boys about our project for the year. They hadn't forgotten, but they were a bit apprehensive. We hadn't discussed the list of ideas with them yet, so they weren't quite sure what to think of it.
So I read the list, getting a few "no" and "maybe" answers (I think they were waiting for something super easy to ease us into this). The resounding "yes" was "Hold doors open for people." Something simple for a 4, 6, and 8 year old to do with a smile. And, they already do this without prompting usually, so this should go smoothly...right?When I asked them where they would like to go to hold doors open, they immediately answered with "Ponderosa." Yes, feel free to chuckle with me. They actually had very good reasons:
- the restaurant is busy at lunch time
- lots of old people go there
- they want to eat there when we are finished with holding doors
I think we will probably try to go tomorrow or Tuesday since the kids are still off school. However, we will eat our lunch before going and then maybe stop by Dairy Queen afterwards if all three of them succeed (which I am sure they will!).
Challenge for you: Hold the door for at least one person behind you each time you open the door.
