What a great little story, too.

Please and thank you and especially table manners. <br /><br />I did use stories to teach my son but, most of it was by example. When he was 11, his father and his staff were honored, along several other Veterans from our area, in Washington DC. We took Jake. <br /><br />There were formal meals as well as a lot of meet and greet functions. I was very proud of how he handled himself. I had been well trained by my parents with proper manners in formal settings and I trained Jake the same way. <br /><br />I had a senator actually compliment me on my son's behavior and manners. She spent some time chatting with Jake as did several state reps. Jake was the youngest child there. I will say, he handled the formal settings better than some adults who were also present--both in table manners and in speaking with officials. <br /><br />I hope he passes it on to his children.<br /><br />I think I'll get this for my niece (who is more like another daughter) for her children, 5 and 3. I know Jossie will enjoy the story. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-88388360003974658112012-06-08T09:39:40.553-04:002012-06-08T09:39:40.553-04:00My kids always used there manners and my GK do mos...My kids always used there manners and my GK do most of the time.
