a gentleman

Just wanting to make note that Simon is a gentleman. We've not gone out of our way to teach him this, it just seems to come naturally to him. In the wintertime, he insists on helping Ella get out of her coat, which she is usually reluctant to comply (feminist?). As I fumble for keys to lock the door behind us when we leave the house, he makes sure to hold the door wide for me and whenever a guest leaves our house, he always beats them to the door in order to open it for them and give a proper goodbye. Tonight, our friend Amie came for dinner, and, right on time, he headed to the door and opened it wide for her. Once she was out the door, he waited and watched through the storm door as she got into her car and then as she drove away, he waved and then closed the large door. Then he locked the deadbolt and came bouncing back into the kitchen.

What did we do to deserve this guy?? He amazes me with his goodness!
