Da Best Mom Ever
My Mom is the best because she is always there for me. When I have trouble with a friend she helps me with the problem. My mom is the best because she is more then a mom to me she is a friend. And we will always stay that way.

MOM SHOULD BE ON A COOKING SHOW BECAUSE SHE COOKS SO WELL. HER FACE IS AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. SHE IS SMART AND A TEACHER. MOM IS CUTE LIKE A PUPPY! I LOVE WHEN SHE PLAYS BALL WITH ME, BUT SHE CAN'T CATCH A BASEBALL. MOM TRIES HER BEST.

As a newborn, I had major surgery and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis like my sister. My Mom has been there for us through thick and thin. Kind of like pasta. She stands straight caring for us, curves a bit when tired and lays flat when exhausted! My Mom's the best!

I could smell the tasty angel hair with tomato sauce my mom cooks while I'm upstairs reading a book. The smell of delicious food spreads all over the house. That's because my mom is the most wonderful cook. Everything she cooks makes everybody beg for the food like dogs.

The Best Mom
My mom is the best mom ever. She is so much fun. We go places and we go on runs and bike rides together. She is athletic, honest and understanding. She helps me grow by making me go to swim team and making healthy foods to eat.

My mother is very special. She helps me with everything. When I am sick my mom takes care of me. When I am sad she makes me feel better. When I am happy she takes part in my happiness. When I make mistakes, she corrects me. I love my mother.
Rithvik, 6
Where would I be without that one special person that directs all the traffics of life? The person that no matter how much trouble I get into, will always love me. This person is my mother. Good times or bad, my mom is always there for me, this makes her the best.

She gives me hugs. She kisses me. She loves me and she loves it when I listen. She makes me nice lunch.
