starting the day

This morning, ashlyn took it upon herself to make me breakfast in bed, along with breakfast for everyone else.  i was woken up this morning to a bowl of yogurt, granola, and a drizzle of honey (my fav breakfast lately) set on my nightstand.   The fact that i didn't have to make anyone breakfast was just such a nice break... i think this is the first time i have ever felt pampered by a child on mother's day, since they've been a bit too young in the past.  She even tried to make me coffee, the sweet thing.  i ended up just showing her step by step how i do it.  if i would have let her continue her own way, i would have had yesterday's grounds floating in today's cup. lol.  i was just blown away by the thoughtfulness of her actions, and she was just beyond proud of herself.... i could tell she felt very grown up.

After breakfast, she presented me with the goodies she made at school.  a book all about mommy and a little potted flower.  it's only 7:30am, so i'd say this day is off to a good start.

happy mother's day to all you mom's out there... especially my own!!  call you later, mom :)
