Who? My son!! Sure, him and I have our ups and downs, but not too many kids I know who barely turned 5 says the things he does. It's been a few months now that he has been doing this...
Eddie Rey will get some clean underwear to put on or socks, come to me and say "Mom I appreciate you washing my clothes. You do a good job! I love you!" Also, when he sits down to eat after saying his prayers he will say "Mom, I appreciate you cooking for me. Thanks so much....you're the best!!!" He does this almost everyday at least one time. It makes me feel so good that I have a son who can be so considerate of the things I do for him. I didn't even know that he noticed. He even told me "Mom, I appreciate Dad paying the rent." I was thought WOW... OMGoodness. I said" tell your dad then." He went and told my husband "Dad I appreciate you." He didn't tell him exactly what he told me, but I told my husband what he said.
When I was 5 years old, I know I didn't think of the things my mom did for me and I know I never told her that I appreciate all the things she did either. The mom I had when I was a little girl is the mom I want to be to my kids as well. She was supermom. She made my clothes and hair bows, was a room mom in school, took me to swimming lessons, cooked/baked all the time and we had a super clean house with everything in it's place. She is the mom I strive to be like and not once when I was 5...even 6.7.8.9 or 10 did I ever stop and think how hard she worked. I'm so grateful to have a son that "appreciates" me :) I really have been thinking about this and it makes me so happy:) By the way...Mom, if you read this...I just want you to know I appreciate everything that you did for me when I was a little kid. I want to be that supermom you were and love you so much. I wish I had been like how your grandson is now, appreciated and took the time to tell you when I was little.

How sweet! Most 5 year olds I know would never say things like that to their parents, but again, I think it has to do with how the parents raised them......so you've done a good job with him :-D
Sounds like you have an awesome child:)
That is so sweet! His is a child of God, and knows that his parents are a blessing to him! How awesome!!! Good job Mommy you are a supermom, you just don't realize it!!!
