Values

Mommy has some strong values, she tries to teach Oliver these values.  

Reading:

Mommy values reading and all the doors it can open

in your life.

Mommy values the feeling she had last night when

she gave Oliver the Alvin and the Chipmunk novel

in her bedroom.  He went straight into her bathroom

and started reading.  

Money:

Mommy values money, but in particular her good

job where she earns money, the opportunities it has brought

 her, and the ability it has given her to support herself and Oliver.  

Something else she values is honesty.  This $50

bill was given to Oliver by his friend at the Boys 

and Girls Club today.  The boy told Oliver yesterday that

he would give Oliver $50 if Oliver brought him 3 pieces of

taffy the next day.  Oliver and Mommy thought it was funny, 

but it wouldn't happen.  Mommy packed him 3 pieces to share with

his friend anyway.  His friend stayed true to his word and gave Oliver that

$50 bill.  Uh-oh.

Mommy knows that Oliver knows those taffies are

not valued at $50.  But his friend didn't know that.

We talked about it and how we had to be honest

and give it back.  Mommy called the boys mom and let 

her know.  She was so shocked and realized she needs 

to teach her son about money.  Valuing education is

a good idea.  (Honesty is a good thing too.)

Time:

Mommy values time management.  It helps us get 

our homework done on Tuesday nights.

We value adaptability and comfort too, especially

while getting our homework done.

Creativity, Goals, and Laughter:

Mommy values all three of those things.  Oliver

created that spear thing, his goal is to sell it to someone

for $6.99-that's a price tag nailed to his wall.  This whole

operation made Mommy laugh!

Goodnight, sweet dreams, and what do you value!?
