    (Most) Kids are pretty amazing! Nothing makes me happier than older boys who take care of the younger kids.

    you need to call every one of their mother’s and tell how wonderful those boys were…and when you see those children, tell them thank you again…now the task is keep him from wanting to do that all the time…don’t want to wear out his welcome

    That was such a special post!!! it made me all gooey inside! Thank God for Good Kids!!!! Some kids try to be TOO big to play with younger boys and act like they cant be bothered. Thats a blessing to have some children that aren’t too jaded and still want to have fun. Hopefully he has plenty of those memories instead of the bad kid run in’s of childhood.

    Love this. I was so sad when I read the post about Bruiser’s “friend” from art class. I knew that kid was cool!

    This is so wonderful, and it really made my day. All the kids on my block were like this, growing up, and I’m so grateful for the experiences that my little brother and I had because of them. (:

    Those kids are so awesome! I would mention this to their parents. Those parents clearly are something right!

    That’s terrific. Always nice to see the bigger kids include the little ones. My son, a year older than Bruiser plays with the neighbor boy, who is 11, every now and then. He’s a great role model for my lil guy. Our kids school has a buddy program where every other wednesday the older kids (3rd-6th grade) spend an hour with their lower grade (3rd with pre-K, 4th with K, 5th with first and 6th with 2nd). Thats also a great experience.

    Shoot, that even made my day! I love how the boys in the neighborhood were with Bruiser…good kids in your neck of the woods for sure!

    Those boys sound amazing! I have a soon to be four year old who is “tough and strong” like Bruiser and I wish he had some big kids like these to play with!

    Love this post. I could picture the scene in my head.  What a wonderful neighborhood you live in.  The parents are teaching their children well.

    I agree, they need to do more stories about kind kids like the ones in your neiborhood.

    Thank you for sharing!
