bad mom vs. good mom




so a while back there were some posts about the 'bad mom' in us. this time i decided to write down reasons why i could possible be the most wonderful, competent, put together mom around..

Well. wish me luck!


1. i let Parks play with finger paints (body paint) and i didn't even complain about clean up
2. i let him get into the flour... he loves it.
3. we played in leaves
4. i let him unload the dishwasher even though he pulled it right out of the island. oh by the way, dont let your kids stand on the dishwasher door, i guess they pull right out of the wall.
5. we played in the mud. he loved EVERY second of it.







6. i let him cook with me.














7. i let him turn my washing machine and dryer on and off, on and off..... on and off.
8. i let him stain ALL of my clothes with those cute little hands.
9. i give him the last bite.... so hard for me!
10. i read to him... if he will listen... and sit.
11. i hold him up to the microwave so he can push the buttons. i have now learned if you do something once you have to keep doing it....sigh


Parks has been doing the cutest things lately i need to write them down so i don't forget...
