Good Mother/Bad Mother????

This morning Ava climbed in bed with me and read me some stories. It was really cute, except that I have two children. While I was sleeping in, Grace pulled out the toaster plugged it in and made herself some toast with cinnamon sugar. Does that make me a good mom to have raised such an autonoumous little girl or a bad mom for letting a five year old use the toaster unsupervised?

Ok, now that I have looked up what "autonomous" means, I can tell you that you are good mother. Any child who can figure out how to do something herself, thus creating less work for you is a very well trained child. Good for you!

Seriously. no more big words on your blog...please.

I would say good. After all we are suppose to give them wings. You can't be there for every piece of toast.

I am with the big word girl. I am just about to go and look it up. I am thinking independent. Close?
