Travis said not to look at him or smile because he didn't want the man to cry. Then he proceeded to put his bottom arm up into his shirt to see if he could pick anything up, the way the guy did. When I told him not to do that, it wasn't nice, he got so upset...."I didn't mean to be mean!" He's so sensitive to other people's feelings.Sheila (Charm School Reject)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11775166583905784450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20118014.post-30648091313656385012007-08-27T21:58:00.000+10:002007-08-27T21:58:00.000+10:00melinda - we saw some pretty cool dinosaur bones t...melinda - we saw some pretty cool dinosaur bones there.

He chose this as his reward for doing well in school. I have to admit, he makes me proud. I want to know how you have time to read?
