being on time

We had P's family day today with pre-k.  Of course, A was too busy to come when it was time to leave.  He was only going to be "5 more minutes".  Like always!  So, we left without him.  I am trying to teach the kids that being on time is respectful - that it is a practical way to show love to those around us.  A doesn't agree, apparently.  It is a daily and weekly thing with him.  Get up late; start work late; arrive at church late; etc.  It drives me bonkers.  And, it is difficult to teach the kids something that their dad doesn't do.  Anyway, we had a glorious time at the family day.  A tour of the library followed by story time and a craft; then outside in the park for time at the playground and feeding the ducks!  So much fun in the sun!
