The Kindness and Sensitivity of My Kids‏

My husband and I had a chance to see a free movie screening last night but we had to first face an obstacle of finding a free babysitter.  We rarely ever have the extra money to hire a babysitter so it is complicated for us when we are in want of childcare. For us this means that we rarely go out alone.  In a year's time we can usually count on one hand how often my husband and I go out without the kids. Even though I do wish that my husband and I could get out alone regularly I do not dwell much on the idea because I understand that is just where we are at for now. 

Besides finding a free babysitter if we do opt to go out we usually go do something together that is free or very cheap. Well I was able to receive two free tickets to see a movie about which I could careless. Just the idea of possibly getting out alone with my husband to go to a free event excited me.  Even knowing that the chances where slim that we would go I still registered for the tickets.

Unfortunately we were not able to find a babysitter and I had expressed to my son my disappointment.  He replied back by giving me some good suggestions of who I could ask to babysit, but I did not want to have to ask those people at the last moment. He finally said,  "Mommy I got an idea. I will perform a movie for you and daddy to watch so you do not have to miss out on seeing a movie."

After dinner my son and daughter performed a very interesting movie for us and my littlest one participated too at the end. It was a funny movie that I was thankful for the opportunity to watch. My kids are so sweet and I love them dearly.  On Friday I am looking forward to seeing a princess movie mostly performed and directed by my daughter.  Our movie last night was an action movie mostly performed and directed by my son.

Starting today my 5 year old son will begin helping cook dinner once a week every Tuesday. He begs to help with dinner almost everyday but I am often reluctent to have his help because I am a slow cooker. Having his help would only slow me down even more.

I do have a strong desire to teach him how to cook so we came up with an agreement last week that he could help me cook at least once a week.  Once he gets better maybe we can increase his work in the kitchen more often but our arrangement for right now makes up both happy.  I can afford to have someone slower than me to help cook once a week and my son gets an opportunity to help cook more often. GOOD DEAL...!!!!
