Mothers Day

Mothers Day was very low key for us. It was nice though. Josh woke up before me and made me breakfast. An egg white omelet and a slice of natural uncured turkey bacon. Jayden came into the bedroom soon after Josh had woken up to give me my mothers day gift. He had been hiding it in his backpack since Friday, when he got home from school. It was a plate which he colored and drew a picture of all 4 of us. Me, Josh, him and 'baby sister'. Complete with tv hanging on the wall and ceiling fan on the ceiling. We spend a lot of time in our living room!

It was sweet. One of those things I will tuck away and keep forever and bring out every mothers day from here on out to show him what he made me in his Kindergarten class. I love it. 

Instead of spending the whole day going places and doing things, we spent the first half just hanging out at home.

Penelope has been on this massive exploration since learning how to crawl {I know, already!}. It's so much fun seeing her take everything in and become so curious over everything and anything. Many times I just sit there on the floor with her and watch her do her thing. One of the moments of being a Mother that is so special. Seeing your baby learning and exploring the simplest of things.

Normally we go out for lunch somewhere on Mothers Day but this time I decided we should all just go for ice cream. Normally we go to the Yogurt Bar place but I wanted some good ol' fashion ice cream. So we went to the Marble Slab and it was delicious. I gave P a little tiny bit of my chocolate ice cream and she loved it. We have been giving her all kinds of different baby foods and she has always been so uninterested with it and for the most part will keep her mouth closed. The chocolate ice cream however... that's a different story. She wanted more. I totally understand though. I would much rather have chocolate ice cream then chicken, peas and potato all mashed into one serving.

This Mother's day has been special and bitter sweet all at the same time. It's my first Mother's day as a Mom of two, but my last Mothers Day as a mom to an 8month old and a 6yr old. I know the word 'last' seems kind of depressing and sad to describe something as special as Mothers Day but it's a good last. One of those that you take in. You sit back, you take in each moment with your baby and your 6yr old and realize that he won't make you a plate like this next year and your 8month old won't be crawling all over the place, exploring new nooks and crannies. It may be a cup next year and a toddler running around all over the house, whichever the case may be, I love it all the same and will continue to cherish all of these moments throughout the year and every Mothers Day to come!
