Mommy Tag . . .

I have never done a tag before, and I've always said I would never do one, but I thought this one was kind of sweet. I enjoyed reading Mindy's, in any case.

1. What time do you wake up?
I'm spoiled! Clark usually gets up with Stockton so I get to sleep-in until 7:30 or 8:00!

2. On a good night, what time is your child in bed?
Between 7:00 and 8:00—it depends if he's had a nap that day or not.

3. How long have you been a mommy?
3 years now!

4. How old were you when you became a mom?
23

5. What is your favorite chore?
Probably vacuuming, but that is the last thing I do when I clean. It kind of loses its "fun" after I do the more painful chores.

6. What is your favorite meal to cook?
Probably Roast Beef or Pork Ribs--anything with potatoes and gravy.

7. What meal do you cook most often?
If truth be told, Macaroni and Cheese. Stockton would eat that for all three meals if I'd let him.

8. What are 5 things about being a mom that make you smile?
1-When Stockton takes credit for everything anyone does by shouting "I did it!"
2-Watching Stockton's arms tense up when he gets excited.
3-When Stockton plays with (or torments) our dog, Tawny.
4-Having Stockton repeat everything we say with perfect inflection.
5-Stockton's time-outs. Unfortunately, they are pretty dang cute!

9. If you could take your child anywhere, where would it be?
Probably a water park. He would be in heaven!

10. When was the last time you went out without your child?
Last night--I went to the University of Utah vs. Wisconsin Green Bay basketball game. Let me tell you how exciting that was!

11. What is your most heartbreaking moment as a mom?
When Stockton got diagnosed with PDD NOS (an autism spectrum disorder). That, by far, has been the most emotional experience for me, though Stockton is coping with it just wonderfully.

12. When was the last time you told your child "I love you"?
An hour ago, when I put him down for his nap.

13. When was the last time you were told I love you?
This morning when I dropped Clark off at the airport.

I tag Laura because she is anti-tag like me! ;)
