For Mother's Day, Alyssa colored a picture for me and wrote me a letter. Daddy asked her what she'd like to thank me for on Mother's Day. This is what she said as written by Daddy:
Dear Mommy,
I love you. Thank you for making me breakfast.
Thank you for candy and food. I love all my toys.
Thank you for reading books. They are fun.
Thank you for taking me to the park and getting me clothes.
Love,
Alyssa
She was so excited about her letter that she asked me every day for the past 3-4 days if it was Mommy's Day yet. When I told her Sunday morning it was Mommy's Day, she took off running to get it. You could see the pride beaming from her face when she gave it to me. I love it so much! She is such a thoughtful little girl. It's amazing to me how she's starting to express her love. She asks for hugs now and tells me that she loves me.
I had an incredible Mother's Day. It seems like it lasted for two weeks instead of one weekend. Last Friday, we went to As You Wish Pottery and Alyssa painted me a Mommy's Bowl. I love it!!!! It's purple just for me and has her name and date on the bottom. I'll use it every morning and cherish it forever.
At school, Alyssa did a special craft project for Mother's Day. She made a pink sparkle frame with a beautiful picture of her inside. She picked out the shoe and the bow just for me. It's so adorable! She looks so pretty in the picture. I placed it on my desk at work so I can look at it every day.
We had a nice Mother's Day breakfast at home with Grandma. Daddy and Alyssa got me some beautiful flowers. We spent the afternoon at Desert Ridge enjoying the warm weather and the splash pad. We had a nice lunch on the patio and topped it off with some Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. What a fantastic day!
It's wonderful to be a mom.
