Today was yes day for my little guy. The answer to everything he asked me for was a big fat YES. I love this game. A game passed on to me from a friend. This day is easy. The easiest parenting day. It may not show them right from wrong, but it is only for one day, and I believe you cannot have more than one of these days a month. I think they would catch on, and you would be fooled into buying some big gifts, and allowing them to do things they truly should not be doing.
My little guy told me that I was the best mummy in the world last night, and that he loves me to the moon and back. That was enough for me to give him a yes day.
taj: "mumma, can I have a mallow?"
me: "yes Taj."
taj: "mumma, can I go to the park?"
me: "yes, Taj."
taj: "mumma, can I have a waffle?"
me: "yes, Taj."
taj: "mumma, can I buy this car?"
me: "yes Taj."
taj: "oh mumma, thank you!"
And for the record little guy, you cannot buy the car with no money.... I love how they ask if they can buy the toys!
I felt like the worst mum the other week, and all it took was for Taj to tell me that I was the best mum in the world. I feel a whole lot better, and yes, I am the best mum in the world for my little people.
Say yes for a day. It is fun! And good luck....
Keely's turn will be sometime during the school holidays. I am really looking forward to having some precious time with my girl. She will rock the holidays at home with me, and one day I will say YES for the whole day.
Love this. Yes, you're the best x
ReplyDeleteYou ARE the best mum in the world. What a lovely idea x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea....but I would spend my whole day stood next to one of those $2 Wiggles rides in the shopping centre!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'd be camped out next to the kettle, as my 3 yr old asked for more and more 'Cuppas'
ReplyDeleteHow awesome are you?!!!! What a fun thing to do once in a while. I've never thought about doing that. I'm going to pay attention to what I say 'no' to tomorrow to see what I'd be up for if I said 'yes' to it all! Bet taj told u again today that he loves you to the moon and back after his super amazing day.
ReplyDeleteYep no doubt about it ... you are a great mumma!
