I just wanted to take a moment to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you fabulous moms out there in blogland and beyond! Enjoy the day, relax, shop, create, read, put your feet up and enjoy! I know I will.I also wanted to share what my adorable little 2yr old made me. The other day I was working on a craft project when daddy had him out. When he got home he was very interested in what I was doing. This made me so proud since normally I have to twist his arm to get him to do anything crafty. BUT for some reason he loved my bright glittery stickers.
So I let him play with stickers paper and glue. This is what he put together. What a wonderful Mother's Day gift! Of course I had to help him with the word "Mom" but I didn't mind.
The most rewarding thing though I got for Mother's Day is hearing Dylan say "mama". Dylan is 2 years old and has a speech delay. He has never refereed to me as "mama", which often made me sad. I know he loves me because I get showered with lots of hugs and kisses, but I still longed to hear this. Well, yesterday I went outside and Dylan saw me and ran to me saying "mama!". Then this morning he climbed into bed and said "mama!" "Mama up!" My heart melted. He then ran to the light and turned it on saying "on". I have never been so eager to get out of bed!
Happy Mother's Day!
I remember you telling us about your sweet boy and how he hadnt said mama yet and it broke my heart. Now he is and it has brought tears to my eyes!!! What an amazing mothers day for you!!! So thrilled for your priceless gift!!!
