I had a proud mom moment today. Hence the new word that has just now entered the English language - a mom-ent. I have to share.
Charlotte is our six year old first grader. She reported to me today that they are allowed to watch TV for a while in class, some sort of down time about mid-day.
Me: What did you watch?
C: Nothing, Mom. You wouldn't let me.
Me: Oh?
C: It was Cartoon Network, so I'm not allowed.
Me: (thinking - yep, that's the rule) So what did you tell your teacher?
C: I told her I'm not allowed to watch Cartoon Network. So she said I could just read on the pillows.
Aaahhhh. Good girl, Charlie.
I am so thankful for obedient children. And daughters who love to read!
This Mom-ent has been brought to you by Charlotte, at age six.

4 screams from the fans...:
AH!!!! TOTALLY loved the link to lds.org! I was hoping that was what that was.
That was soooo great. It's so nice to hear when kids know right from wrong. But my question is: What is wrong with the school? Why in the world would they be promoting watching TV? Why couldn't they all read a book? Good thing Charlotte is there to set the example for the whole class since the school isn't. Sorry, I get so frustrated at adults sometimes. Ok! I'll get off my high horse. I love that you are such a good mom teaching your kids good values. We don't watch cartoon network here either. We love and miss you guys.
Aaaawww, thanks, Casey. And yes, values in the schools? Enough there for a whole blog devoted to the subject. Hey - there's a project for a RS pres with four small kids and nothing better to fill her days...hint. :)
She is so cute- those eyes so it all. Good lesson!
