Mom’s Day at School

From the time that I was a little girl tending to my dolls and parading my Taffy-cat around in a pram, it was my heart’s desire to be a mommy.  I watched, mimicked and adored my own mother, hoping with every hope I had that I would one day be just like her.  So, it was with extreme honor, a full heart and overwhelming gratefulness that I was able to attend three different Mother’s Day events at the littles’ schools this week. 

The baby’s class put on a spring play, in which he starred as the most precious blue bird you ever did lay eyes on.  At the end of the show, each child shared why they love their mommy.  The answers were completely darling… because she loves me, because she reads to me, because she tucks me in at night, because she makes my boo boos better, and because she takes me to restaurants.  Yep. That’s why the baby loves me… because I take him to restaurants :-)
 



He presented me with a sweet hand towel, lovely flower and darling card.





On Thursday, the PCP’s class hosted their moms for a delish bagel breakfast!  His amazing teacher planned a lovely morning honoring us – she even had the kids serve their guests of honor.  So very sweet.
   


My seat was set with a sweet placemat, a coffee mug, a card and a darling little box who’s sentiment had me choking back the tears.





And then on Friday, the baby’s class treated their mommies to Krispy Kreme donuts!  It was awfully hard to leave him afterwards.  I can hardly stand that my baby is getting so big.  It’s bittersweet that all of my firsts with him are also lasts. 

Being mommy to these two children is something that I am thankful for every moment of every day.  The depth and breadth of love that I have for these boys, and the one I lost, is immeasurable.  My heart overflows with gladness as I fall to my knees with gratefulness. 

Now, I must go dry my eyes and make myself presentable for baseball games galore!
