My Mother's Day started with Lily coming into my bedroom to tell me NOT to go into the kitchen. Thank goodness I was already awake, waiting for breakfast to cook since she had told me the day before that I was getting breakfast in bed. A few minutes later Max entered, carrying a home-made card. From the appearance, Daddy did most of the work, but Max managed to create some interesting blobs on one side of the card. After careful study of the blobs, he declared "Looks like glue". Maybe glue is the symbol of love in some other place, like Toddler-Land.
I received several cards and a balloon and some flowers, but I just loved the paper that Lily had done at school. The children were asked questions about their mothers and the answers were written down. For example, I am 14 years old, weigh 20 pounds, but have size 10 feet (according to Lily). Some of her answers were right on, such as "What is your mother's favorite thing to do?" The answer, "Drink coffee and do puzzles."
Children are very observant, aren't they?
This morning I took Max to the grocery store where they just introduced the "car carts" where the kids can sit in the car part in the front and drive while Mom pushes the cart from behind. Apparently this delighted Max because he could see the people who were also shopping. He began by saying to each person we walked by, "Helloooooooooooooo." Most people responded with a smile and a "Hello". After a few aisles, this was boring, so he changed his repertoire to "Hellooooooooo. Don't forget to brush your teeth!"
