Because we live on the Air Force Base, everyday at 4:30 pm, we here the Star Spangled Banner play over the large sound system. In honor and respect, everyone who is outside is to stop what they are doing and stand at attention or with their hand on their heart. We have lived here almost two years, so this is nothing new to my children, but I usually have to remind them to stop what they are doing and to stand still and put their hand on their heart. Yesterday, Taysen had just headed out back to play and was ready to get on the swing when the song came on. I was in the kitchen when I heard him say to himself, "oh, my hand on my heart." I looked out to see little two year old Taysen standing still by the swing set with his hand on his heart, well close to his heart. He stood their almost the whole song until a few seconds before the end! I was so proud of him! What a great reminder to us all of patriotism! I ran outside afterwords and had him 're-pose' so I could get a picture of him!
