An Early Mother's Day Gift

May 7th, 2009

Times are really changing around here.  Arianna’s favorite color isn’t pink anymore. She hung her first poster in her room. It is a poster of a cat, but I know all too well that posters of boys will soon follow. She is no longer into the Disney princesses. She writes in script, is pretty good at her times tables, is no longer a brownie – but a junior girl scout.  Not to long ago, I noticed that her shirt wasn’t laying perfectly flat!  Ahhhhh!!!  No one else would notice, but I certainly did!

The good news is that she still wants a piggy back ride to bed each night, still wants Lenny and I to tuck her in, still believes that someday she’ll be able to fly. The best news of all is that she still really loves us! About an hour after we tucked her in the other night she came downstairs with a gift for both of us.  It was a book she entitled, “My Family is the Best Family – The Ultamet Rock Stars”. (Yes, that’s how she spelled Ultimate)

Here’s a little piece of what she had to say:

My Mom

_________

My Mom is awesome, sweet and fun to hang around! She could never get any better! My Mom and I always have fun together. She is a shoulder to cry on. There are so many good things about her, I can’t even list them. You are caring and wonderful to be around. Thank you for making me and thank you for everything you have done for me!

She then dedicates a page to her Dad, one to our times in Las Vegas, one to “the rock stars in us” and then closes the book with this…

Thank you

__________

Mom and Dad, this book is for you, saying thank you for all that you have done. Some of my favorite things about my family. These are a few of the things I could think of. Please take this as a gift to remember I was just thinking of you.
