Yesterday, I took Devon, our 11 year old, to Sylvan to be assessed. What we thought was going to be a four hour assessment turned into a 6 hour assessment (I bought and read a book during this time!). He did a great job and actually had fun in the process. We go next week to find out exactly what kind of intervention he needs (and exactly how poor we will be afterward!). Anyway, I wanted to treat him because I knew it was a really long day for him, so my act of kindness was to let him choose any place he wanted to go for lunch. I am a particular eater (I've improved quite a bit over the years), so this was big for me.
He chose Chuck-A-Rama.
It's a buffet restaurant that is popular in Utah. And it's one of the LAST places I would have chosen. But I sucked it up and took him there for a late lunch. Then I took him shopping for shoes (he picked a pair of DCs) and clothes. And cologne (He chose Nautica Blue). And a DS game. It was a lot of fun, and he even let me buy him two button down shirts and a pair of loafers (he's a tshirt and skater shoes kid)!
Today my act of kindness was to leave a note for one of the facilitators I supervise. She made sure to leave me a document that she knew I would ask for (it's the end of the month) but hadn't asked for yet. She totally rocks! So I told her so!
