After one of my readers, Amy J., suggested creating a behavior/chore chart for my second grader, a miracle happened. This morning when I got out of the shower, my five year of was standing beside my bed and he proudly stated, "I made your bed mommy. I want a chore chart like Tessa's. Since I slept on your floor last night, I needed a bed to make, so I made yours. Do I get my own chart and a sticker for making a bed?" What a wonderful moment as a mother! I was so pleased, I took my son's picture and promised I would post it on my blog so everyone can see how well he made my bed! I complimented him, "Daddy can't even make the bed this neat!" He was so happy, he gave me a big hug and said, "I will make your bed everyday mommy!"
