Every week at the boys school, they highlight a different life skill. Mr Hayes, our awesome principal, speaks at the assembly every morning, and hands out awards to recognize students, and talks about life skill. This weeks' life skill is "integrity".
We went to see the Disney movie "Earth" last night.
Before that, the boys had a session at "the little gym". When we went
to see "Earth", Eli hadn't quite finished his homework. When we got
home, it was 9pm.
So, Eli got up before I did this morning (this isn't unusual; he likes
to get up a little early and play video games on the Wii) and
completely on his own, got out his homework and finished it (two pages
of math). I hadn't told him to do this - to be honest, I was figuring
"Earth" was a good excuse to miss some homework...
I told him he should be very proud and that he had great integrity.
