So, Friday my daughter came home super excited about their penguin egg project. Weekend homework consisted of decorating a box, bag etc, to house your egg for the entire week!! WHAT??!!
My daughter barely cleans her bedroom without her arms getting tired or her getting tired( where does that happen, its your mess you clean it). So, I watched her with anticipation prepare this egg living space. She was beyond excited. Took one of MY shoe boxes to give to an EGG??!! Really?! Bump..
I love seeing the excitement in my daughter's eyes. She's very determined and she's growing into her own. I'm learning that each child is different and they require to be treated as such. I'm also learning that,I have to watch what I do and say in her presence. Prime example, I have a BAD habit of hanging up when people put me on hold. I was talking to my mother on Saturday and she asked me to hold on. I didn't. My daughter says to me," grandma put u on hold huh"? I said yes why. Because you hung up. She then proceeded to say, so it's okay for you to hang up on them mommy but you want them to hold on for you? I just looked. Then she said, but if they hang up on you is that's okay because they are only doing what you do? I had to kinda try and laugh it off but she checked me and she was right. so, I called my mother back and apologized. This was NOT the fist time she observed something I did and later questioned me on it.
I'm working really hard at raising well rounded children. So if it means I have to continously CHECK myself so she won't have to question a not so positive adult like action then I will. If it means, checking my attitude, smiling more, saying NO more and being stern about it, then I will.
Now, back to this egg thing.... The eggs come home today and I will not be a GrandeggMommy.. This is a school project and will be treated as such. Hmmm, she think cleaning her room is enough, wait til I have her bring that egg in the bathroom with her because she need to keep it in HER eye sight!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahhaaaaaa

ReplyDeleteHahahah.. I rather be checked by my kids, vs them going out in the world and doing something that will call for them to get checked or hurt because they weren't taught right at home
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and funny all rolled up into one! I hope your daughter gets a good grade on her project and that she learns a life lesson in the process. Taking care of the ones that can't take care of themselves. Seems like she got it down pack!
ReplyDeletegirl, she cracked that egg lastnite!!!!! she had a slide in its living quarters. Rolled it down the slide and it cracked. I asked her what were the consequences and she said, " Oh, we just don't get a certificate". I asked her how did she feel and she responded next time.. O_0
