Mother’s Day Came Early
The best thing about the kids making Mother’s Day gifts at school is the fact that come Friday (two whole days early) the kids are so excited to share their treasures, that I get my gifts early! I just got mine from my oldest. It’s a book that has the beginning of sentences pre-written, and then the kids have to fill in the blank. My book made me cry. It reminded me just how forgiving our kids can be of our faults-and I have many. But this book was filled with heartfelt treasures. I told my son that the next time he told me that he hated me and that I was the worst mom in the world, I would just read his book. At 11, he’s mastered the ‘eye roll’ previously set aside for 13 year old girls.
