Last night after Zoey’s game, Allison and I were walking to the car holding hands and just chatting about things. “Mom, If you could have anything you ever wanted in the whole entire world, what would it be?”, she asked.
Knowing that Mother’s day had been brought up, I tried to think of things my five year old could easily obtain. “I know, a beautiful drawing.”
She seemed pleased with this answer, but then asked, “What else?”.
“Hmm, lots of hugs and kisses.”
“You always want that Mom, what else?”, starting to remind me of “Dude, Where’s My Car?” where the lady at the fast food place keeps saying, “And Then?”, over and over.
“I don’t really know. Breakfast in bed?”, grasping at straws.
“Yeah! That’s something I forgot about. Okay, you would also want to have a bouquet, right?”
“Of course! I’m surprised I didn’t think of that myself!”, I said to her.
As I started to make dinner, Alli let me know she was bored. This seems to be a constant state for my kids. This time it was different, instead of complaining any more, a light bulb popped above her head and she scurried into the living room. A few minutes later, she called, “Mom! Look out!”, and then, “Catch!”.
A paper airplane flew past me. When I opened it it said, “I luv Mom, From Alli”. She’s starting early with the presents. What are you getting for your mom for Mother’s Day?
So SWEET! And about that picture, she seems so mature and WAY out of toddler and into school years. When did that happen?
My mom is getting sushi, a new fancy crockpot, and Jon is installing her curtain rods for her… that is what she asked for.. Jon to install the curtain rods. We are so practical in my family.
Hope you have an awesome mothers day Anna.
She’s so precious.
I don’t know what I’m getting my mom for mother’s day. Whatever it is will be arriving late.
I gave my mom me for mother’s day. Sounds lame, but we don’t get to spend much time together these days and we used to be really really close. We are planning a girl’s trip in June.
