Mother's Day

I had a wonderful fourth Mother's Day with Audrey. Eric held down the fort while I got to sleep in a bit, and then Audrey greeted me with a nice hug and kiss and a 'Happy Mother's Day!' before showing me the gift wrap she designed. She later said without prompting how much she loved me! Priceless. We headed out for a nice brunch, and Eric and I enjoyed the nice, quiet meal as Audrey inhaled her oatmeal and pancakes. We later enjoyed dinner in after some fun on the swingset. Audrey even pushed me on the swing for a bit! I had forgotten just how much fun it is! It was my turn to read to her and say prayers, and we sang our traditional, 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes'.

My little girl, who wore her Cubs pajamas to bed, then ended Mother's Day with the following.
Mommy, we shout "Go, Cubs, Go", right?

Well, I don't like the Cubs, so no, I don't. I like the Cardinals.

With a very serious look, she answers: Well, that's okay, mommy. We're all wrong sometimes.

By next year, Audrey will fully understand baseball standings. And that will indeed always sway her to the right side...
