I hope that you all had a great father's day! I know that we did. I can't begin to tell you how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband who is also an amazing dad.
I am also lucky to have such a great dad who was a positive influence on me during my childhood.

Yes my kitchen was a mess, and yes I did have to help with the clean-up. But what my children gain was a sense of accomplishment and a bit of self-esteem as they told grandparents and aunts and uncles that they were able to fix breakfast by themselves.
It was worth every bit of that mess to see how happy it made them. And it was nice to see how impressed my husband was with the special breakfast that he got from his kids. So go ahead and let your children help. Take the time to make a little mess, and encourage them. After all it is the only way they will learn.

Happy Father's Day! |
This is a great blog post! It is cool to see kids do stuff like that for parents. I'm sure the kiddos felt really proud to do that for their dad! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThey really did feel good about it. They told everyone they saw all day that they had made breakfast for daddy. I just loved it!
