So proud of my boys!

Two little stories...

When I went to pick up Caleb from school on Friday, he had two big scratch marks on his face. His teacher said to wait a minute because she had to talk to me. I thought, "Oh no... Caleb's first fight..." but when she came over and told me what happened I was soooo surprised. She said that a little boy in one of the other classes who is one of the special needs kids was acting up at gym and got mad and clawed Caleb's face basically. But as soon as it happened (which I guess a lot of people saw) they said Caleb just turned right around and went and got the teacher and said, "That boy scratched me!!!" I was so proud of him for not smacking that boy back! The teacher said they couldn't believe it either. They said they all were talking about how Caleb was so patient and well-mannered and always uses his words. (and more words... and more words.... hah jk) But anyways, I was pretty proud of him! And very shocked and wondering why he doesn't react that way at home... :)

Gabe had to give his first talk in primary today. I helped him write the talk, which was one page written in his own handwriting, and the topic was "Honoring My Parents." He did sooo good! We practiced it a few times on Saturday night (right after he wrote it) and the hardest part for him was reading a scripture in Exodus, but he did really well. I went in to help him, but I really only had to help him with a couple of words. But the funniest part came afterwards. I know this girl who teaches the class of five-year-olds. She told Josh at a meeting after church that when Gabe first went up to the podium to start his talk, one of her little five-year-old girls whispered to her loudly, "He is SOOO HOT!" ahahahaha! I love it. What a ladies man. We told him this and he just got a very embarrassed look on his face and ignored us.
