Having two 5 year olds can be challenging but they can also give you some of the best advice. I was blessed with a little boy and a little girl so I get point of views from both sides of the spectrum. Here are just a few of my favorite they have said..
Miss A- Mom you look like a queen. Who needs a King when the queen rules anyway.
Mr. J- Are you wearing that? Well at least do your hair!
My kids comment on my outfit everyone morning..... I think they forget that I pick out their outfits as well but at least they wont let me leave the house looking bad.
Mr. J- We need to pray for Jesus.... He is making us a Dad out of dust and that isn't easy. I can't even get the dust to stay in my truck.
Miss A- God made everything in this house. He also made us and Cupcake (Our dog) We need to thank him.
Most of the time when things like this come out of their mouths it makes me laugh. When I really think about it they are telling me so much more. They listen to everything I say and watch everything I do. When Mr. J says "Oh Goodness" I know he got that from me because I say it all the time! My kids love to have deep talks and ask difficult questions. I have learned that they just want to know everything I know. Now when they say things like this I know they are giving me my own advice. I have to say I am NO WHERE near a perfect parent...... I am learning with my kids.
If I ask my kids for advice they will tell me the complete truth. Believe me sometimes the truth hurts. If you don't want a child to tell you what you are already thinking, then don't ask! Then again if you are asking a 5 year old for advice you are probably looking for anything you can take. For me I am a single parent so if I ask "How do I look?" or "How did my dinner taste?" They are really the only ones who can answer. I know that I am thankful I have these 2 miracles. They have changed my world. They make me laugh, cry, sometimes both, but they always leave me thinking. They always seem to say things that hit me right in the heart. Today I ask you to listen to yourself....... Would you want your children to act the way you do? Say the same words that come out of your mouth? Just something to think about! Thanks for reading!
