President Monson gave a great talk in General Conference last time, and in it he mentioned a class that put “warm fuzzies” in a jar.  I went out the next day to get something similar, and Scout has been earning his fuzzies ever since.  He assigned colors, so he is yellow, I am white, Micah is blue, Icka is pink, and Nonie is red.  Every time he does something nice for someone, or chooses the right, or says please and thank you without prompting, I give him a yellow fuzz.

Today in church, he was WAY better then usual.  He whispered instead of using a loud voice.  When he found vampire teeth, he played with them quietly instead of scaring everyone.  He was doing a sticker book with Micah and didn’t get overly excited or frustrated by anything.  He didn’t go up to the organ to play a few notes.  You get the picture.  So in an effort to keep it going, I turned to him and said, “Scout, you are being SO good.  When you get home, you get 2 yellow fuzzies…and if you are reverent during the prayer (his favorite time to be stinky), you will get 3!”  He thought for a second, turned to me and said, “And you get 1 white fuzz.”   Guess I was being good….just not as good as he.
