Because I snapped this, this morning, I had just dashed in from my morning run, and we were about to dash right back out the door.
And Scott was putting the "finishing touches" on Chap for the day.
You see, it's picture day.
And, Chap is also in a "Men of Distinction" group at school. So, they dress up once a week. And, today, is that day.
So, Chap has been working on his TIE-ing skills :)

And here's where the lesson comes in.
Scott always works on turning things into "teaching moments".
And he is very verbal about the fact that our kids have to be "taught" the simple skills in life.
Like, how to shake a man's hand.
You just aren't born knowing how to give a firm, solid, manly handshake.
As a matter of fact, at my age..ahem...I still don't know that skill. Why? Because I wasn't taught that skill..because I didn't need it.
you get me?
So, I digress.
Scott does a great job, and I am continually thankful for his role as a "teacher" to our boys. Teaching them life-skills to be men.
So, this morning, as they were getting ready, I think the best part about this, is the way that Chap is so focused and watching his Daddy, and maybe, I just wanna think that he was soaking it all in. Ya know?

Now, if I could just get Scott to teach them how to wash dishes.....oh wait...I think I need to teach him first :)
