Mother's Day

I'm a mom of 2! 

I can't quite believe it myself. I feel like it's my birthday and I'm squealing excitedly that I'm turning 2.

This year's Mother's Day is all the more special because of my baby girl, who's no longer a baby, but is still a baby, which I know makes sense to a lot of people. 

My son colored in a picture at school and gave it to me:

My husband said: 'Uh...it's a little dark?'

My son also 'wrote' (with Dad holding his hand) me a card, and somehow understood that it's a day that's special for mom, because he got all coy when he handed me the card, and whispered under his breath 'Happy Mother's Day'. And with a huge smile that lighted up his eyes, he said 'I love you Mommy' and gave me a big hug. 

I melted and turned into a pool of mush. 

We went to the Peninsula Hotel for brunch at The Verandah restaurant, which was bright and bustling, with an impressive brunch spread to boot. I could not wait to tuck in, but first had to get my son's hands out of the M&Ms bowl at the dessert station.

I'm pleased to say we did not break a single plate and no drinks were spilled. The kids were very agreeable and we had a very dignified Mother's Day brunch. Pure bliss.
