I was lucky enought to have received the lovely potted plant from Charly on Thursday when I picked her up from the babysitters. Even though she didn't want to decorate the pot like the other kids and also wanted NOTHING to do with the plant or potting it, it was a wonderful surprise and my VERY FIRST mother's day gift from my kid! I thought that was cool and then today Charly and her dad surprised me again! I was in a meeting all day at work while Andrew got to get some really great "charly time" in (since our babysitter was off for the state holiday -Truman day). Although I received text messages throughout the day updating me on how many poops she had and how tired she was at lunch time sitting in her chair (with a picture to prove it) ... I still missed out on my "charly time". Don't you worry though... I have a fun weekend planned in St. Louis to spend time with my WONDERFUL husband and my BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Since we are leaving in the morning I wanted to post my mother's day post today... and I will have to skip a day of pictures (and posts/updates) because I will be soaking up my "charly/andrew time" tomorrow in ST. LOUIS!!!
So... back to my surprise... I walked in the door and got a BEAUTIFUL potted plant (equally as beautiful as the one I got on Thursday), and a yumm-o cake from my favorite bakery- BK Bakery . We all sampled the delicious strawberry heaven! I love Mother's Day. Only now do I realize why my mom loved this holiday and why it is so important. On this mother's day I am so thankful for what I have and for the opportunity to be a mother. I realize what a precious gift that is and how important of a job I have! I have to thank God for his magnificent plan and for allowing me to trust him and for the gift he has given me. I love being a mom! I was meant to be a mom!
~I had to post the pictures of the way Charly was dressed today when I got home! Andrew is not the best at putting together an outfit, and Charly is not quite ready to "rock" the belly shirts! :)
