Observations of a 5 Year Old

A Good Mom

By J, age 5.

*lets you go on the X box lots.

*lets me go on the computer and watch tv

*makes gingerbread, sandwiches, short bread cookies

*feeds her kids chicken noodle soup

*she cleans, which isn’t very fun!

*sweeps, cleans the dishes, starts the fire

*plays Snakes and Ladders

*hugs her kids 4 times a day
*lets her kids go on the X box lots

I thought I was going to really fall short of his ideal mother. He can be quite frank and free with his opinions, but other than the first and the last one, (and the fact that apparently I can't make cleaning look fun), I am not doing so bad...

i think he's quite smart knowing already that cleaning isn't fun. what a sweet symphathetic child.

and were the TWO references to the xbox a hidden request for more?!

you are a great mom!

Hmmm, wonder what mine would write about me?
Sounds like you are doing a good job.
Let me know if you ever figure out how to make cleaning look fun. ;)

That is a wonderful list!!

I can't make cleaning fun, either. I just turn it into a race. *L*

Ha ha - sounds like it's pretty much about the Xbox!
