early mother's day

On Thursday, Lyle brought home a present he made for me for Mother's Day. I told him we should wait to open it until Sunday, but he said, "It's Sunday! Open it!"

He was very excited to give it to me. The note on it had his handprints, which he kept pointing out. And he loves that it has his picture in the flower pot, although he says, "I was sad in the picture. Not happy. Sad." (This picture is one the teachers took back at the beginning of the year; I think this must have been just after I'd dropped him off one of those mornings, when he was still sad about me leaving.)

It's sitting in my kitchen window now.



Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms and moms-to-be!
