Happy Mother's Day

"In this family, every day is mother's day." 

Growing up I often heard a similar statement from my mother when we asked if we could skip our chores.  She would say, "Every day is kid's day."  I remember the impression that I would need to wait until I became a mother to choose when to skip chores and to eat chocolate cake for lunch.  Hah!

Now I am a mother and my little one does the sweetest things.  And he is learning to do some things that he knows he's not supposed to, like pulling out all of the drawers in Daddy's nightstand.  Once or twice he has almost toppled the nightstand onto himself.  But, every time he kisses me, or says, "I love you", or smiles, or laughs at my jokes (at least at the ones aimed at him :), I feel so special.  It really makes every day seem like mother's day.
