Aww

That's great that he understands that, sometimes, you have to do things that you don't like - and he was able to see that you did something that you don't like... so he can do something he doesn't like, too.

The fact that you were so open with him about "Dad doesn't like ER, but he's going anyway" is obviously something he sat with and realised "If Dad can do that thing he doesn't like, I can do this thing that I don't like".

It's a great way that you demonstrated this and inspired him to follow your lead.

So wonderful! When you are the example who inspires a child to do the right thing!

Oh my GOSH!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹 I am tearing up a little bit, too!!!! THAT is soooo wonderful!!!

This makes me so happy for him and you. Also Tiny Tornado.
His future is looking better everyday. 🙂
