How many 7-year-old boys say that?
What he really wanted, however, was not to get clean.
What he really wanted was to stand in the warm water for 20 minutes while he played with his map puzzle.
Oh, my dear child, how you make me laugh.

cleanliness is godliness (?)
Towards bedtime tonight, Kiddo announced, "Mommy, I think I need to take a shower. I know I just took one last night, but I smell really dirty. I really need a shower."

Too funny and a great motivation to get clean and learn ! :)
Where did you get that map, Kirsten?
Lisa - I made it out of craft foam. It wasn't too hard. More info (but not much more) is in my Jan 10 post.
What a kid!!! That's pretty ingenious to come up with such a good excuse for playing. I love him!!!! and his wonderful personality.
That's great! :)
I think I've said it before that this map is super cute. When Matthew gets older I'll have to try and make one. I have only one teeny tiny problem with it. whispers (Topeka is on the wrong side of the state! :) )
Haha, I think you'll find there are a few other misplaced cities as well. Kiddo was in charge of labels, and precision was not one of his priorities. :)
Can't say that I would have ever noticed Topeka though - my Kansas geography isn't very good. :)
That is THE coolest thing I have seen in awhile! You do some of the neatest things with you kids. :)
Hello---I just found your blog through a series of clicks from other blogs (don't even remember which one I started on). Where did you find this map puzzle or did you make it?
