Today was a normal day.
I am a mom in charge of helping with the school activities and anything the teachers need. Today we prepared the candy bags the bunny will give the kids tomorrow at school. I spent all morning cutting and glueing bunny bags.
Later on me and David went to check our potato plant, it is growing so fast. I am really exited. I was told it will take 3 months for the potatoes to grow and they wont fit where I planted them, so have to figure what to do about it.
Then we decorated easter eggs. I love how David is getting more artistic everyday. Yesterday we made paper easter eggs and painted them with markers.
At dinner time it was a fight like always, I don´t think I ever enjoy my dinner, we are always fighting, trying David to eat, and now that the doctor told me he has to gain weight is even more stressful. But I know he will gain it eventually, I am just complicated and worry too much like any mom would.
Getting David ready for bed was my favorite part of the day. It Is not what you are thinking! It Is not that I was happy he was going to bed and I would be alone and have peace!!! What kind of mother do you think I am!! Just like Every mom in the world, I know, haha. No but being serious now it was my favorite part and I will tell you why....
I wanted the day to be over, so told David to hurry, wash his teeth, go to bed and sleep. But then he brought me a book someone gave him at school. So I told him we could read it. He loves reading before going to bed.
The front cover explain how by reading that book they would learn many values,
- Honesty
- Respect
- Etc
We read about respect. I will summarize the story. It was about two roosters who would bully a duck. The duck felt bad because he would get teased by the roosters very often. Then one day the duck noticed the roosters bullied each other too. So the duck felt relief knowing they bullied everyone and not only him.
The moral of the story was that if you move to a town and everyone does not respect each other and you cant expect anyone to respect you either. Just accept that people are like that.
I don´t agree with that!! Made me so mad reading what they want to teach the kids. So I decided to teach David something different. Tell him a different story and I made it fun.
I turned the lights off and started my story.
There was a town very far away, everyone there was mean to each other, nobody respected anything. People would kill the plants, paint and destroy other peoples homes, paint the walls, etc.
One day a boy named David came to that town. David was very nice with everyone, he would pick the trash, take care of the plants. He would be nice to people even if the others where not. If someone dropped their pen, he would pick it up for them. ( Then I turned the light of my phone and gave it to David)
People in the dark saw Davids light shine! They loved it and were attracted to it, (David laughs). All the people in the town wanted to have that light too! So they started being nice to each other and taking care of everything that surrounded them and soon all the town had light (turned the rest of the lights on in the room).
At the end I told David, even in the darkest places we can shine, and by our example people can change. We can inspire other people to be the good in the world. Sometimes people forget and they just need a little reminder that we can be good again.
He loved it so much that we had to dramatize the whole story again. It was so fun. I loved it. I will have to film it for my next post and I will upload it, I promise.
