Mother's Day

Olivia woke up early as usual this morning. I didn't go to her right away - also as usual. When I finally got out of bed around 6:50 am, she was sitting at the gate with a pile of her blankets in front of her. I set the gate aside and sat down with her. She lifts and pushes the pile my way and says "pessant fo you Mommy" (present for you Mommy). As I respond and reached for the pile, she says "open it". Wrapped up in the blanket, I find her stuffed elephant - my present (and her beloved frog, which she quickly claimed as her own). Super sweet moment to start my Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day dear friend, I've been thinking of you even if time is not on my side lately for emailing.
