The messages, transcribed by their teachers are so telling. So insightful into my babes' minds. Each of their messages were wonderful but stung in a way too. Harrison's message:
"My mommy is beautiful because she has licorice. Licorice is candy... I love it so much. My mommy sprays the hose to clean very good. I love doing truck puzzle with mommy. My mommy is so pretty because her blue eyes... Blue eyes."
Who knew he liked licorice? Or that I ate it often enough to be memorable! I love doing puzzles with him too but I do not have blue eyes. I wonder if he says this because he has blue eyes? Or if because the whole family does except me. Hmmm.
Hadley's message was telling too. The sting was more like a bite.
"My mom is 16 years old.
My mom likes to work.
The best thing she cooks is pasta.
Her favorite thing to relax... A little music.
She is really good at knitting... So is my grandma."
I guess I have to take the good with the bad. Only 16! But I like to work. Why does Hadley knowing and acknowledging that I "like" to work "bite" me? It hurts. It makes me sad. But it is true. Maybe I want her to see me for the mom I am when I am with her. Yet she is keenly in-tune with who I am when I am away too. Maybe even more so.
Cheers to Friday afternoon sunshine and a wonderful Mother's Day with family.
Ps - Isn't the pasta necklace Hadley made me awesome??!!
