Be it good or bad, our boys are competitive. Not on the soccer field or even in the classroom, but with each other! Races to get dressed, wash hands after dinner, get their seat belts on … they race and sometimes cry because they didn’t win.
We are trying to work on this. It is an ongoing process.
Yesterday, it was a race to get their chores done. I don’t know that Ricky and Billy were in on the race as they don’t like to do chores even when racing, but Rusty and Tommy were at it!
There was a list of chores on the white board for each of the boys to do and Rusty was admiring how many of his were crossed off. He said, “I’m already in first place!”
Tommy, not to be out-done, proclaimed,
“I’m already in seventh place!”
There you go.
