Ethan: What are you doing, Mommy?
Me: Just doing the dishes.
E: Thank you, Mommy.
M: For what?
E: For helping clean up.
And then today, about an hour after I gave the boys haircuts and baths and while Ethan was playing on the computer:
E: Thank you...Mommy, thank you!
M: For what?
E: A haircut.
It is so wonderful to have my son thank me for doing something that is "my job" without me telling him to. I hope this is the beginning of many thank you's to come. It is nice that I can now say with certainty that mine is not a thankless job!

What a sweet boy! Can I borrow him?
You have DEFINITELY done something right Emily! I'd also like to borrow him and see if we can't get him to rub off on Cole someday! :)
how precious! I'm sure stuff like that makes being a mommy all the more rewarding.
He'll make up for it.
Actually, J still does things like that once in a while and it is always golden.
