Gifts for My Mommy

Heather hinted throughout the week that she had some special surprises for me. Yesterday afternoon she excitedly gave me a little white bag with pink and blue stars that she drew and colored. Wow, I had little butterflies when I opened the bag. I received a Mother's Day card with a beautiful message in it signed by Heather and a tulip on the cover (she cut and pasted the little red vase), and
a little ribbon bounded notepad with a pen and Heather's adorable sketch of me and her printed on the lower left corner of each page. The sweet notepad consisted of xeroxed pages of a reduced sketch that each child drew of his/her mother and him/her so that it would appear on the lower corner of each page.




Heather's teachers are amazing to prepare the notepads and the beautiful cards with the pre-cut tulips and heart-warming message for the mothers of the children.



The children recently learned about measurement. Heather told me that Mrs. B measured all of the children and arranged them according to their heights. Taped to the left inside of my card is a folded green "stem" that represents Heather's height Mother's Day of this year. This is a very sweet memento to be treasured now and for years to come.

"As I have grown these early years
Mommy dear you've seem me bloom.
The stem will show in later years
How tall I was this special Mother's Day.

I thank you mother for your daily unconditional
Love!
You are helpming me become
A beautiful flower in this garden of life.

Happy Mother's Day
This May 2009"

Happy Mother's Day to not only our mothers but also to all women for their love and support.
