A good morning.

He ate both waffles.

He examined his sticky fingers and said, "I need to wash up."

He wanted to brush his teeth and wash without me, as a surprise.

"When I come out, you say, 'How did your teeth get so white?' and 'How did your hands get so clean'?"

He forgot that he needs my help squeezing the toothpaste. I came in, for a second. I had to pretend I didn't do that.

He jumped out of the bathroom and did jazz hands at me.

He stood on my bed, carefully brushing his hair, while I got dressed, and explained to me how he likes his hair done.

"You have to have your hair off your forehead, so you can look beautiful," he explained.

He brushed my hair. "You have a big forehead so it's easy for you to look beautiful."

Then he said he was going to show his Dad how beautiful he looked, and he ran downstairs.

[Rhi]

I love him.

OMG--how unbelievably sweet and life affirming! Good you recorded it, as I'm sure tomorrow will be, shall we say, different! :)

I see he has already learned my favorite maxim in life: Jazz hands are always a good idea.

I have a big forehead. When I pull my hair back, I look like Thomas Jefferson.

[Jenn @ Juggling Life]

I have no comment to make. I'm too busy laughing at suburbancorrespondent's comment.

This was sweet.

[alice]

I do too, SC. Apparently my son has a thing for the Jeffersonian look.

[sizzle]

That's incredibly endearing.

[cartoongoddess]

So sweet!

How do I get mine to brush without wrangling?

[tadpoledrain]

So cute!

[RuthWells]

So sweet! My littest monster laid a good one on me the other day -- I was grousing about my mid-length haircut (too short to pull back) and I mused aloud, "Maybe I should just get it cut short again?" Little monster said very seriously "No mommy, you look more beautiful with it like this." Not just "beautiful", but "MORE beautiful", is what did me in.

That's what I love about Five. So mostly-capable, when they're willing, and so earnestly sweet, when they feel like it and can figure out how to boss you around using polite words.And then just when they have you all sappy and Awwwww...... BAM! They bring on the attitude, just to keep you from getting too comfy.Jazz Hands rock.

[Frogdancer]

Wait till he takes half an hour in there, blowdrying and gelling his hair because he has to have a certain image for the ladies....

It'll arrive before you know it.

[Anne]

Fivehead victim here too - my daughter6 says its because I have extra brains that make me smart enough to be a mommy. That might be as awesome as being beautiful, I think.

Ah, the delights of April Fool's

[Dee]

What a sweetie. It's great you're writing down what he does - he won't be small for long. My son is a hoot. He told me I had something in my hair this morning and I grabbed my head and he startde laughing - "It's the fool day!"

[TEOM?]

I sincerely hope this is an April Fool's post. I've been a mother for nineteen years and I don't ever remember anyone volunteering to "wash up."

[Rivetergirl]

What a lovely way to start a day. Thanks for sharing.

[punchanella]

wow, while i read this, my son tortured me. at the moment, he's destroying the bathroom by spraying water and "too minty" toothpaste everywhere.

wanna trade?
