Almost a Snow Day

We had a school delay this morning due to icy road conditions. I was hoping it would be a snow day instead, one where we could ski around the neighborhood and build snowmen, and come in for hot chocolate when we got cold, but as my daughter says, "you get what you get...and you don't throw a fit."

At least the sun is out, and we were lucky to have some extra time this morning to relax and laugh at a couple of Mad Libs before school.

I asked my daughter what I could do to be a better mom. She told me that I could play with her more, hence the Mad Libs laugh fest. I then asked her what made me a good mommy, and she told me that I was a good mommy because I give her choices. Cool. It is so great to hear from her what works, and what she likes about my parenting style. I really like the win-win approach I have taken with her, and it has been great to see the results. The Love and Logic philosophy is all about making parenting fun, and raising responsible children at the same time.

Could a parent ask for anything better?
