All about my mom: Local kids share what they love about their moms - The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel

“I love you, Mommy!” is one sentence mothers never tire of hearing.

Then “mommy” becomes “mom” as the elementary school years go by, the teenage years come and the sweet softness of toddlerhood disappears forever.

In memory of that toddlerhood and those “All About My Mom” worksheets that often come home with kids of that age around Mother’s Day, here are some of those questions or fill-in-the–blank sentences answered by local children about their mothers.

Because while children get older, their responses to “All About My Mom” never do.
