Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out everywhere!

I had been doing hints about mother's day for weeks. I needed to be treated special, I needed to be surprised. I need mother's day to be outstanding!

My sweet girl said she had some plans up her sleeve. A day before, she asked me what I wanted to breakfast on my big day. She came to me with a notepad and pen, taking down my order with the professionalism of a seasoned waitress! Even asking - 'And would you like some fruit with it?', 'Anything to drink with it?'!

The next morning she and I woke up together, and the first thing she said was, 'Oh no, you're already awake!'. The plan was for walking me up with the breakfast! I helpfully offered, I can stay in bed if you like. She was relieved. Next, Papa was woken up and dragged downstairs to help with the breakfast. Water was boiled for the tea. Bread was toasted. Fruits were cut and arranged in a bowl. Eggs were scrambled. Orange juice was glassed. All of this was arranged on a tray and brought up to me in bed! So perfect, i purred!! There was also a bag full of cards for me! After breakfast little Miss Haana and I played on the bed.

Later that day on the afternoon we went to my favorite place these days, the rose garden. Ah equipped with a picnic blanket. I lay in the grass and watched cotton puff clouds float against the blue blue sky. Again, perfect!

Best mother's day ever!

Lincoln Log Men

We got a new blocks game for the little girl. The Lincoln Logs. It comes with log shaped blocks that can make different types of cabins. It also has 2 burly looking men included - almost as tall as my thumb.

This evening the little girl showed me her tea pot which now had two Lincoln log men inside. I asked her what the two men were doing inside the tea pot and was told in no uncertain terms they are making tea.

The fact that she thinks men are to make tea made me just giggle with delight :) Somehow, in some weird way, it's feeling like parenting may work out afterall :-)

I'm a Little Teapot

Maybe words don't adequately express this little girl's cuteness especially when she sings so many of the children's songs and does all kinds of actions her little hands and legs along with it! She sings 'Itsy bitsy spider', 'Do your ears hang low', 'I'm a little teapot', 'I love you' (the barney song) and many more.. And every time she's finishing the song, she'll look up with a twinkle in her eye, and the look of complete self satisfaction that would be a crime to let go unnoticed!

I'm a little teapot, short and stout (hands show short and stout)
Here is my handle (left hand on waist becomes teapot handle)
Here is my spout (right hand is raised to become the teapot spout)
When I boil over, I scream and shout (hands around mouth - screaming and shouting)
Tilt me over and pour me out (Baby/Teapot tilts over)

"One, two, three, four, Goooo"

"I'm a little teapot....... Tilt me over and pour me out"

"One, two, three, four, Gooo"

"I'm a little teapot... Tilt me over and pour me out"

(Repeat endlessly punctuated by crazy giggles, gleaming eyes!)
Now if she would let me get my hands on her and crush her into a sweet paste of naughtiness!
