Growing Up

Dallin seems to be going through a growing up phase lately.  He just seems older to me.  He isn't really a little boy anymore, more like just a boy.  A few things have really stood out to us lately. At church he started Senior Primary this year.  I think that has been great for him. One big difference though is that it is during the 3rd hour of church instead of the 2nd so afterward, the chairs all need to be folded and put away.  Right away, Dallin saw the need to help and every week he spends a few minutes getting them all put away.  Many of the Primary workers have told me what a gentlemen he is about it.

Then when we go to leave the building, Dallin will hold the door open for EVERYONE while they come out.  We commonly have all the kids loaded and the car running before Dallin will leave the door holding and come home with us.

On Saturday Peter went to help a family move and Dallin wanted to come so he said okay.  Peter told me that Dallin worked the whole time without stopping. He helped load everything into the moving van.  He was dirty when he got home from working so hard.  People couldn't believe what a hard workder Dallin was and Peter got lots of comments about him.

Dallin really likes this kind of stuff. It is built into him. As a mother it is sweet to see him so eager to help people.  Now if I could just get him to do his chores...
