This used to be done by my parents to me. The way they educated me about cleanliness is always in my mind and I will surely never forget about that. Even more, I will pass this heritage to my 2 years old son. It is too bad that my son likes making the whole place in mess and dirty while I will be too busy cleaning up and returning things to their places without educating him. It is my obligation to teach him a lesson from the very beginning.
It seems that my son could understand what things are taught to him, especially before going to bed. He always asks me to brush his some new teeth and wash his feet and shake them on the rugs provided on the bathroom door and his bedroom floors. He always likes to rub his little feet on his Disney character rug. He could watch the image on the rug for minutes that would make him forget what he is going to do.
Yes, I use some rugs with cartoon characters to teach him about cleanliness, hygiene and health. I am so glad that he always enjoys making his feet as clean as possible by rubbing them on the rugs. And, I don’t have to spend much expense for it. I actually got those cheap rugs for him from a sale of the month at a rug store near my husband’s office. He himself bought them for our son besides buying some other rugs along for our living room and living room.
The area rug in our living room has been torn on some parts and the color is fading already; of course it is not a good thing to see for any guests who come to visit us and sit on the sofa or chairs in the living room. I actually don’t want the rug in the living room to be removed and replaced with a new one; it was a gift from a good friend of mine during college year after she had returned from her teaching duty in an Asian country. She brought some area rugs just for souvenirs for me and some best friends of ours.Wow! It was a big and the best souvenir I have ever received in my life. I certainly had no hesitation to put it in the best place in our house. Now she is married just the way I do and has two little kids. I have not met her for almost a year but I am sure she will be just fine with her kids. I also know that she will teach her kids well, much better than I do because she is a good teacher as far as I concern.
