“September 28th is not the only day you appreciate your sons, but it’s definitely a day you get to brag a little more if you like,” Paulie wrote in his Instagram caption.

“Just so proud of the achievements that my boys are accomplishing and the kindness that they show. If there’s one thing you can teach/give your children, it's the right to be nice, appreciate support, and most of all, understanding.”
