As I scramble to find the "perfect" gift for my loved ones, bake, decorate, renovate and calculate (yes, A little hommage to INXS), David was responsible for reminding me what Family truly means. This Wednesday afternoon, David spoke the words I dream to hear everyday! After picking him up from school, we came home to a lawn full of leaves. Those leaves have been a thorn in my side for about a week now, and I knew today needed to be the day I cleaned them up. So, with David looking on, I began to rake them all in a nice neat pile. I then turned to him and said, "Mijo, this pile is for you." With a huge smile, he jumped in and started making leaf angels, we played in those leaves until the sun went down. Then it happened..he turned to me and said, "Mom you are the best mommy ever!!" We finished our day eating mac and cheese and watching cartoons. Today was a good day.
umm....that is pretty much the sweetest thing ever! You ARE the best mom ever!! PS...the pic of just his feet....love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat every Mom loves to hear! I've been telling you how awesome of a mom you are for what, 11 yrs? Now do you believe me? By the way, those pictures are frickin adorable. Can I have a copy of the file so I can print one out and put it in my office?!
