A Lovely Assistant

Last night I had to take Kendall to the Boulder SQL Server User's Group because Tia was out of town. I had pawned Delaney off on another Scout family who took him, but Kendall had to go with me. Fortunately she was feeling better, and I wasn't too worried. She attended the Denver group last month and was well behaved. She even came up front with me and flipped some slides, so I know she isn't embarrassed to be up there with me.

We got there and she ate her food, then played her DS while I started. She said she'd flip slides, but she was playing well and I wanted to work with my new remote, so I handled it myself.

I'm lucky here that she is well behaved and supports me. No complaints on the way there or back. To be honest, a few people I've known that brought their kids to events because of similar family issues, have had their kids behave very well.

Trying to do more than just your job, going a little above and beyond puts a strain on the family, but it's great when they support you. I really appreciate that.
