Good People...

All I want for my boys in life is to be good people. 

While I don't have any "proof" that what I'm doing with them now will make them good people, I sure do hope that someday I will look back on when they were young and think "Wow we did a good job raising them"  Some might call it antiquated, or old fashioned. 

But I hope my boys always open doors for women, and give up their seat on a bus so an elder, or lady may sit down. I hope they know to pay for dinner on a date and never sit in their car and honk the horn (God forbid I find out they do this steam will come from my ears) I hope they take out the garbage because they notice its full, and make their beds because it saves their Mama an extra few minutes for my coffee. I hope they know they can always come home to a home cooked meal and fresh laundry. 

I hope that when they are offered a drink at a party they say "No thank you, I'm driving" or have the good sense to call me, no matter the time. 

I'm raising boys, that will turn into men. I'm raising boys that will be deserving of good women. I'm raising boys that no matter what they do in life I will be proud of them. Cause I know, in my heart they will be good people.

-Disclaimer- 

Obviously I don't know if what I am doing is working. Carson is 3 and while he hasn't hit true defiance yet, I feel like he's turning into a really "good" kid. He's helpful and sweet and while I'm waiting for the terrible to get here (and some days it is) I really think over all on the path he is on, we won't have major issues in the future. Obviously anything can contribute to rebellion at a later age. But these are just my wishes for them in life.
