Sweet Cow; Sweet Story

At the boys' school, there is a positive reward program called I-CARE. When you earn an award, your name is entered into a drawing and your name is included in the school-wide announcements. This week, T-man's name was drawn and he chose a gift card from Sweet Cow (the ice cream place in downtown Louisville). 

When he showed Marshall the gift card, he thought it was like a credit card and he could continually use it to buy ice cream. When Marshall told him it was only valid for one ice cream, he got sad. Later in the evening, he was able to tell me about the gift card. He said he wanted to take the entire family (we are pretty sure he thought he could pay for all of us). Just warmed my heart that he wanted to use his reward to buy ice cream for all of us. 

At breakfast, he had his card out and we talked more about it and his older brother was quick to point out that the card is only $5. After a quick glance at D-man, he backed off and started talking to T-man in a supportive manner. Regardless, we are proud of our little guy and can't wait for his reward trip to Sweet Cow.
